← GeographyWhich landscape outcome results in arid regions with coalescing alluvial fans?
A)Prograded bajada formation✓
B)Increased wind deposition
C)Accelerated chemical weathering
D)High relative soil retention
💡 Explanation
Prograded bajada formation occurs because sediment deposition from multiple alluvial fans build outward sequentially, leading to their merging due to reduced transport capacity; therefore a bajada complex forms near mountain fronts, rather than isolated fans.
