Which effect increases where an alluvial river flows onto a fault-bounded basin?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced deposition occurs because decreased channel slope reduces transport capacity, forcing sediment fallout via settling; therefore, high deposition rates are observed, rather than increased flow needed for erosion, reduced groundwater infiltration, or amplified mineral precipitation.
