Which delta formation results from increased sediment deposition in subglacial lakes?

💡 Explanation

Gilbert delta formation happens because coarse sediments are deposited rapidly at the interface of inflow and a dense water body, forming steep, inclined foresets. Therefore, Gilbert deltas form easily in a lacustrine environment, rather than in marine systems.
