Which depositional outcome characterizes a humid-climate alluvial fan?

💡 Explanation

Humid environment fans exhibit mudflows because increased catchment area leads to greater pore water pressure, aiding debris flow. Therefore, distributary channels and mudflows are common, rather than sorted sediments, which are deposited by traction.
