Which outcome results from stream meandering affecting drainage divergence?

A)Reversed river flow direction
B)Glacial isostatic rebound increase
C)Stream piracy and catchment re-organisation
D)Increased chemical weathering reactions

💡 Explanation

Stream meandering causes channel migration, establishing flow paths by stream piracy; topographic barriers, rather than drainage patterns, shift catchment areas, because gradient differences favor stream with lower base level eroding through divides, therefore stream piracy capture occurs.
