Which process causes periodic debris flows across alluvial fan deposits at higher latitudes?

💡 Explanation

Glacial outburst floods cause debris flows, because rapid ice melt results in high water discharge carrying large volumes of sediment; therefore jokulhaups, rather than other climate-related processes, explain the mechanism of sediment sorting and transport on alluvial fans.
