← GeographyWhich 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.
