What is the geomorphic importance of a desert wadi?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It is an ephemeral stream channel that erodes and deposits sediment during flash floods
A wadi is a normally dry valley or channel in an arid region. Short, intense storms can produce sudden floods with enough energy to erode bedrock and transport coarse sediment; when flow weakens, the load is deposited in bars, channels or alluvial fans. Thus option C is correct, while the other choices refer to glacial, marine or cave environments.
