← GeographyWhich depositional outcome characterizes a humid-climate alluvial fan?
A)Thick, poorly sorted sediment wedges
B)Distributary channels plus mudflows present✓
C)Dominated by braided stream deposits
D)Extensive carbonate deposition zones
💡 Explanation
Humid environment fans exhibit mudflows because increased catchment area leads to greater pore water pressure, aiding debris flow. Therefore, distributary channels and mudflows are common, rather than sorted sediments, which are deposited by traction.
