Which outcome results when rapid tectonic uplift interrupts fluvial deposition?

A)Increased lake formation landward
B)Decreased river sediment deposition
C)Entrenched meanders form canyons
D)Ephemeral streams become perennial flows

💡 Explanation

Entrenched meanders carve deeply because uplift increases the river's potential energy, causing accelerated downcutting via stream incision, rather than lateral migration or lake expansion, therefore canyons form and increase incision, rather than deposition.
