← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when rapid glacial ablation dominates?
A)Formation of broad alluvial fans✓
B)Deposition of fine-grained varves
C)Concentrated bedrock downcutting occurs
D)Development of recessed plunge pools
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment load and water volume lead to braided streams which favor alluvial fan creation due to decreased flow competence and stream power; this is caused by glacial outwash, therefore the fan builds, rather than incision.
