Which outcome results when sediment accumulation overwhelms subsidence in prodelta lakes?

💡 Explanation

Crevasse splay development occurs because sediment deposition builds above the surrounding lake, forming breaches. This channel avulsion allows sediment to pour into the shallow parts of the basin; therefore crevasse splays form, rather than radial patterns arising from uplift.
