Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in turbulence increases the river's erosive power, which means it can erode and transport more sediment. It does not necessarily result in deposition (A) or aggradation (B), and terraces (C) usually result from tectonic uplift or changes in base level, not solely from turbulence.
