Which outcome occurs when sediment supply overwhelms fluvial transport capacity at a mountain front?

💡 Explanation

An alluvial fan forms due to **aggradation**, where excessive sediment deposition results because the river loses energy upon exiting the confined channel. Therefore, a fan emerges rather than channels, because the river’s carrying capacity decreases significantly at the mountain front.
