Answer to Question 1

A stream with a previously established meandering pattern may become incised into solid bedrock that
is uplifted, or the same stream may be responding to a relative lowering of its base level.



Answer to Question 2

A superposed stream is one whose course was developed earlier, while flowing over a relatively flat
surface, and that maintained its course by downward erosion, as more resistant rock layers were
uplifted into its path.
