What may paired river terraces indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Old surfaces left on both sides after nearly equal river incision
Paired river terraces are remnants of an older valley floor or floodplain preserved at approximately equal heights on opposite sides of a river. They commonly develop when the river resumes downward erosion, often because of uplift, a fall in base level, or increased discharge. The river cuts into its former floor and leaves matching benches. Hence option B is correct; the other choices involve wind, marine, or cave processes.
