Answer

Relatively steep

Explanation:

The continental margin , between the continental shelf and the abyssal plain, comprises a steep continental slope, surrounded by the flatter continental rise , in which sediment from the continent above cascades down the slope and accumulates as a pile of sediment at the base of the slope. Extending as far as 500 km (310 mi) from the slope, it consists of thick sediments deposited by turbidity currents from the shelf and slope.

Which of the following is NOT reason why a stream incises into its former floodplain to create a stream terrace?
ddd [48]

Answer:

D. Lowering of the sea level.

Explanation:

  • Stream incision is a cause and consequence of the increase in the river load carrying capacity and also its former floodplain if uplifted by the presence of mountain ranges and more discharge rates.
  • As the streams channel drops the water in surrounding aquifers runs into the streams, thus lowering the water table a this modifies the flow pattern of the stream, and leads to large reductions of summer flows.  
  • The incision is thus a play of the river with its tools and speed of the river and the amount of discharge governs the flow patterns hense,  this impacts the river way of cutting.
