Which hazard increases where tectonic uplift causes braided stream deposition into large alluvial fans?

💡 Explanation

Increased tectonic activity and stream deposition cause steepened gradients, leading to frequent debris flows because the increase in loosely consolidated sediment becomes unstable. Therefore the hazard increases rather than a change in the aquifer or other water systems.
