Which risk increases when an ephemeral stream's sediment supply decreases into a tectonically active region?

💡 Explanation

Stream incision increases because reduced the sediment supply enhances the erosive power of the stream via channel incision. Because stream incision dominates, stream capture becomes more likely due to headward erosion, rather than reduced delta lobe switching.

• Which process initiates headwall erosion to form distinct glacial cirques given seasonal freeze-thaw cycles?
• Which outcome results from reduced bioturbation during soil pedogenesis?
• Which process dominates sediment sorting in a proglacial lake experiencing increased meltwater discharge?
• Which outcome accelerates surface current formation following sustained winds?
• Which mechanism causes the episodic tremor and slip (ETS) phenomenon along subduction zone faults?
• Which environmental impact intensifies when deflation removes loess deposits?
