River terraces generally form under which condition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: By river rejuvenation and renewed incision
River terraces are remnants of an older floodplain left at a higher level after the river begins to cut downward again. This renewed incision commonly follows rejuvenation caused by uplift, a fall in base level, or increased discharge. The former floodplain becomes a step-like bench beside the younger channel. Calm seas, wind-blown dust, and glacier melting do not create this fluvial sequence.
