Which consequence results when uninterrupted longshore drift meets a submerged river channel?

A)Delta lobe switching occurs more rapidly
B)Estuarine turbidity maximum intensifies greatly
C)Saltwater intrusion accelerates upstream rivers
D)Riverine levee formation rate accelerates locally

💡 Explanation

Rapid delta lobe switching occurs because longshore drift deposits sediment across smaller channels; this diverts the river flow due to channel blocking facilitating increased deposition, therefore delta destabilization occurs rather than direct estuarine effects.
