Which outcome results when unimpeded longshore drift encounters a deeply incised river mouth?

💡 Explanation

A riverine delta lobe will prograde because sediment transported by longshore drift fills in deeper channels when flow energy decreases with channel widening. The deposition process leads to alluvial ridge formation rather than barrier island migration or stack creation.
