Which consequence results when levee compaction subsides unevenly?

A)Increased channel avulsion probability
B)Enhanced sediment sorting efficiency
C)Decreased floodplain nutrient deposition
D)Accelerated delta plain aggradation

💡 Explanation

Increased channel avulsion results because differential subsidence causes adjacent flow route capacity contrasts, magnifying shear stresses; therefore, rivers carve new paths, rather than continuously deposit sediments on the existing floodplain.
