Which outcome results when significant tephra deposition reduces stream capacity?

💡 Explanation

Braided streams adopt multiple shallow channels because of sediment (tephra) overload causing aggradation; therefore a braided pattern forms, rather than increased bank erosion or flow concentration since deposition is widespread and reduces the stream's erosive power.
