Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A region of tectonic uplift with high sediment supply and large diurnal variations in water discharge is characteristic of high-energy environments. Braided channels are typically found in high-energy environments where the sediment load is high and the water discharge is variable. They often have multiple channels that frequently split and rejoin, creating a braided or "anastomosing" pattern. Meandering and anastomosing channels are typically found in low-energy environments, while deluvian and alluvial channels are not common channel pattern classifications.
