Which erosional outcome increases downslope along alluvial fans?

💡 Explanation

Increased hydraulic radius creates channel incision at fan outlets because concentrated flow accelerates abrasive Helical flow erosion on cohesive beds. Therefore, option A occurs close to outflows rather than distributing alluvium over the entire fan surface.

• Which outcome occurs when trade winds approach equatorial continents?
• Which outcome results from Earth's rotation altering prevailing winds' direction?
• Which outcome accelerates near limestone bedrock when carbonic acid concentration sharply increases?
• Which outcome occurs when seasonally thawed active layer over permafrost experiences saturation on a moderate slope?
• Which effect accelerates river avulsion on a broad alluvial plain with high sediment load?
