← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when rapid crustal uplift obstructs rivers entering endorheic basins?
A)Extensive alluvial fan reformation✓
B)Increased continental coastline stability
C)Accelerated glacial erratic retreat
D)Diminished chemical weathering rates
💡 Explanation
Alluvial fans will reform extensively because the increased bedload deposition through **aggradation** overwhelms basin capacity. This causes fan surfaces to steepen and braid, therefore a larger fan system forms, rather than simple channel incision.
