Which risk increases substantially as terminal alluvial fans coalesce?

A)Diminished aquifer recharge rates downstream
B)Increased regional geothermal gradient stability
C)Enhanced selective precipitation of evaporites
D)Accelerated chemical weathering of bedrock

💡 Explanation

Diminished recharge increases because interfan areas with finer sediments are buried, reducing infiltration; therefore, recharge decreases rather than increasing geothermal stability or affecting weathering because this process primarily changes water flow pathways; The mechanism at play here is sediment sorting.
