Which outcome occurs when katabatic winds accelerate glacial meltwater streams?

💡 Explanation

Increased streamflow causes increased sediment transport because increased water velocity enhances the river's capacity to carry particles via fluvial entrainment. Therefore, sediment deposition increases downstream, rather than decreased alluvium scouring at source.

• Which outcome results when thermal stress exceeds cohesion limits in high-altitude cirques?
• Which consequence results when levees fail catastrophically during exceptional flooding on an alluvial plain containing a major river?
• Which mineral accumulation occurs due to prolonged groundwater evaporation?
• Which outcome primarily results when lava viscosity increases significantly?
• Which outcome occurs when wave energy increases at headlands?
• Which risk drastically increases when heavy rainfall saturates the soil near a river levee structure?
