← GeographyWhich outcome results when tectonic uplift overcomes weathering in badland regions?
A)Increased alluvial fan deposition✓
B)Decreased sediment transport capacity
C)Formation of stabilized drainage patterns
D)Widespread chemical weathering dominance
💡 Explanation
Increased tectonic uplift introduces fresh, erodible material. This causes enhanced sediment delivery to depositional areas via increased water velocity, therefore increasing flow across alluvial fans, rather than reduced deposition linked equilibrium conditions.
