← GeographyWhich outcome results when a riverbank's root systems vanish?
A)Increased mineral nutrient stratification forms
B)Enhanced stream bank erosion occurs✓
C)Decreased rates of chemical weathering
D)Accelerated long-term soil stabilization
💡 Explanation
Increased stream bank erosion happens because of decreased **bioturbation** and root cohesion; the riverbank's soil structure becomes more susceptible to hydraulic forces, therefore, erosion accelerates rather than being stabilized which instead requires the soil protection from flowing liquid.
