Which consequence results when a levee breach occurs affecting an adjacent lake?

💡 Explanation

A levee breach causes increased lakebed sedimentation during flooding, because water flow decelerates rapidly releasing sediment. This prompts delta formation due to sediment deposition, therefore the answer is delta formation rather than a modification of salinity if the recharge were focused.
