Which consequence develops when increased continental weathering delivers greater alluvial sediment loads?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment supply enhances delta aggradation but compacts underlying unstable soils, accelerating Delta Subsidence because increased weight from new layers overcomes the consolidation rate; therefore subsidence risk increases, rather than other oceanographic effects.
