What hazard intensifies when alluvial fan stream channels downcut?

💡 Explanation

Debris flow avulsion risk intensifies downstream because downcutting creates unstable, elevated sediment aprons encouraging channel migration. Therefore, avulsion frequency increases, rather than causing river stabilization, improved local recharge, or easier vegetation establishment because of disturbance intensity.
