Which risk increases as coalescing alluvial fans block canyon outlets?

💡 Explanation

Increased playa formation occurs because a dammed lake creates a saline evaporating surface; this mechanism results in the precipitation of minerals. Therefore a playa develops, rather than other hydrological processes due to drainage obstructions.
