Which consequence occurs when Mississippi River levees fail during peak flow?

💡 Explanation

Crevasse splays appear because levee failure allows rapid sediment deposition onto the floodplain through a breach via the Sediment Transport mechanism. Therefore, splays form due to localized sediment accumulation, rather than alterations of the whole river.
