Which lacustrine outcome is accelerated where tectonic subsidence exceeds sedimentation rates?

💡 Explanation

Deep, steep-sided lake formation accelerates due to vertical crustal movement; continuous tectonic subsidence lowers the lakebed beyond natural replenishment. Eustatic adjustment enables deepening, because increased accommodation space is generated rather than infilling and landscape stability.
