Which risk increases when sediment supply outpaces removal in alluvial fan deposits?

💡 Explanation

Channel avulsion becomes rife because rapid sedimentation overwhelms channel capacity, causing **aggradation**, which directs flow elsewhere rather than maintaining its current path. Therefore, frequent shifts occur; contrasting decreased infiltration happens at fine-grained deposition.

• Which outcome arises when leaching exceeds deposition during pedogenesis?
• Which outcome occurs when upper tropospheric winds accelerate due to temperature differences across Hadley cell boundaries?
• Which outcome intensifies once a glacier forms a cirque?
• Which outcome results from increased coastal upwelling near arid desert regions bordering the ocean?
• Which outcome occurs when a coastal megathrust fault ruptures during an earthquake?
• Which outcome is accelerated if permafrost degradation weakens the bergschrund wall above a cirque?
