ScanSolve AI Answer

Long-term landscape features that might develop at a point of capture include a beheaded stream and a misfit stream.

A beheaded stream occurs when a river is diverted into a new channel due to capture. The original upper course of the river is left without an outlet, effectively "beheaded."

A misfit stream is a stream that is too small to have eroded the valley it flows in. This often happens in the lower part of a captured river's original valley, where the reduced water flow can no longer maintain the original valley's size.
