Which delta characteristic increases when progradation temporarily exceeds subsidence?

💡 Explanation

Increased alluvial plain area results, because deposition overtakes sinking; isostatic adjustment dictates relative elevations. Deposition drives progradation; therefore, surface area increases rather than faulting, decay, or channel changes which reflect varied controlling processes.
