← GeographyWhich geomorphological outcome results when localized subsidence occurs?
A)Formation of endorheic lakes occur✓
B)Intense riverine system downcutting occurs
C)Massive continental shelf expansion occurs
D)Increased volcanic activity is observed
💡 Explanation
Endorheic lakes form due to localized subsidence creating closed drainage basins that trap water which does not flow to oceans; this is a manifestation of differential compaction, therefore, endorheic lakes form, rather than increased river downcutting which suggests uplift.
