← GeographyWhich outcome increases due to decreasing stream competence in alluvial fans?
A)Sediment deposition increases downslope✓
B)Channel incision becomes the norm
C)Abrasion causes larger grain sizes
D)Hydraulic action forms deeper pools
💡 Explanation
Decreasing stream competence reduces transport capacity, thereby causing increased sediment deposition; this is caused by sediment supply overwhelming stream prowess because coarser sediments drop out more rapidly, therefore favoring intense deposition, rather than incision.
