Which risk increases when debris aprons overload alpine alluvial fans?

💡 Explanation

Channel avulsion frequency increases because slope adjustments trigger new flow paths across unstable surfaces due to the decreased sediment-carrying capacity from increased debris apron density. Therefore, the answer is increased avulsion rather than reduced basalt hydration, increased concentration or bioturbation rate.
