← GeographyWhich delta characteristic increases when progradation temporarily exceeds subsidence?
A)Increased alluvial plain surface area✓
B)Decreased faulting across the delta
C)Higher organic sediment decomposition rate
D)Reduced channel avulsion frequency rate
💡 Explanation
Increased alluvial plain area results, because deposition overtakes sinking; isostatic adjustment dictates relative elevations. Deposition drives progradation; therefore, surface area increases rather than faulting, decay, or channel changes which reflect varied controlling processes.
