Which topographical outcome consistently follows alluvial sediment deposition?

💡 Explanation

Increased overland flow and sediment spread promotes floodplain widening because sediment deposition fills low-lying areas, therefore valley widening occurs rather than significant recharge increases or terrace formation alone, because 'deposition' limits overall relative erosion.
