← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when suspended sediment load decreases in rivers discharging loess?
A)Delta subsidence diminishes regionally✓
B)Oxbow lake formation accelerates
C)Alluvial fan deposits stabilize quickly
D)Braided stream formation is reduced
💡 Explanation
Decreased sediment leads to diminished deposition at the river delta, and therefore decreased delta subsidence, because the isostatic rebound caused by sediment accumulation has weakened; rather than changes associated to streams or features upstream.
