Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antecedent and superimposed streams both have the capability to cut through bedrock ridges. Antecedent streams establish their course before the ridges are uplifted, and maintain their course as the uplift occurs. Superimposed streams originate on a surface of relatively uniform resistance, and then maintain their course as they cut down into underlying layers of differing resistance, including bedrock ridges.
