Which outcome directly results from reduced stream flow across an alluvial plain?

💡 Explanation

Increased deposition occurs because alluvium transport depends on consistent stream power; therefore, sediment is dropped, rather than eroded and carried further. Glacial ablation is unrelated, chemical weathering occurs over longer periods, not rapidly reduced stream flow.
