In the Colorado Rockies, there was more erosion during the scenario involving increased rainfall and rapid snowmelt. This combination led to greater runoff, which intensified water flow over slopes, dislodging soil and rock more effectively than in drier conditions. The heightened moisture also contributed to the saturation of soil, causing more landslides and a greater overall erosion rate.
