Q

When does rejuvenation occur?

A

When there is a fall in sea level relative to the land or a rise of the land relative to the sea. This enables the river to renew its capacity to erode as potential energy is increased. The river adjusts to its new base level, at first in its lower reaches and then progressively inland = landforms.
