Which consequence results when subsidence exceeds sedimentation in alluvial basins?

💡 Explanation

A reverse drainage network develops because greater subsidence concentrates sediment deposition in rapidly sinking areas, shifting flow paths toward structurally low points, therefore creating streams that flow inward rather than seaward; rather than other drainage patterns.
