Considering that the mountains flanking Death Valley to the east and west are about the same size as each other, how to you explain the difference in landforms (your answers to the previous two questions) on either side of Death Valley? A. There must be less sedimentation happening in eastern Death Valley than in the west.
B. The east side of Death Valley must be dropping (subsiding) more rapidly than the west side.
C. The west side of Death Valley must be dropping (subsiding) more rapidly than the east side.
D. The mountains to the west of Death Valley get more precipitation than the mountains to the east of Death Valley, resulting in more weathering of the bedrock, and therefore more sediment production.
