12. Rejuvenation Some change causes stream to speed up and cut deeper. –Uplift of Land –Lowering of Sea Level –Greater stream flow Stream valley takes on youthful characteristics but retains features of older stages as well. Can happen at any point in the cycle.

18. Why the Stream Cycle Doesn't Explain Everything Changes in sea level during the ice ages Most landscapes have been repeatedly rejuvenated Seems to work best in stable interiors of Africa, Australia and South America.
