Answer 2

I think sediment would build up on the valley floor and raise the elevation. And a lot more vegetation would grow. Am I close?

Answer 3

Why wouldn't it fill with water?

Answer 4

Where would the sediment come from?

Answer 5

Wouldn't the ground soak up the water? The sediment would come from the surrounding mountains.
