Which consequence results when intense rainfall saturates alluvial terraces?

💡 Explanation

Increased rainfall and saturated alluvial terraces leads to reduced soil cohesion; this triggers slope instability. 'Debris flow' is more likely here because the saturated sediments create heightened pore water pressure therefore creating more mass movement, rather than weathering changes.
