Stream terraces represent:

A) older floodplains of a river that has incised downward
B) cutoff meanders of a meandering stream
C) areas where sea level has risen and waves beveled across the coast
D) none of these

Stream Terraces

Flat, bench-like landforms parallel to a stream, formed by the erosion of a valley by the stream or by fluctuations in sea level.

Incised Downward

A process where valleys or channels are cut deeply into the landscape, often by rivers or glaciers.

Floodplains

Flat areas adjacent to rivers that are subject to flooding and are composed of sediment deposited by the river.
