Which geographic outcome increases when rapid glacial retreat alters sediment deposition in alluvial fans?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment production overwhelms the usual sediment transport in alluvial fans because increased meltwater discharge elevates fluvial power and sediment reworking, therefore leading to a wider distribution of recently deposited and unstable materials, rather than chemical weathering.
