Formation of paired river terraces indicates what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Incision of an old floodplain at the same level through symmetrical downcutting
Paired river terraces occur at approximately equal heights on opposite sides of a valley. They are remnants of an older floodplain that was cut down when the river renewed its vertical erosion, often because of uplift or a fall in base level. A spit, glacier melt, and a karst column are coastal, glacial, and limestone features, so they do not explain paired terraces.
