Which risk increases when tectonic uplift rapidly elevates an existing alluvial fan?

💡 Explanation

When an alluvial fan is rapidly uplifted, increased stream gradient causes channel incision because the river cuts down to reach a new equilibrium, leading to fan dissection. Therefore enhanced dissection results, rather than decreased supply, weather or debris flow events which require different triggers.
