Which outcome occurs when sediment load overwhelms alluvial river competence?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment causes rivers to lose their capacity to transport material, resulting in Aggradation. Braided stream patterns increase because sediment deposition becomes dominant due to reduced river competence, rather than channel stabilization.
