Which morphologic outcome results on coastlines when high-sediment rivers enter seas?

💡 Explanation

Delta formation occurs where a river's sediment deposition overwhelms the erosional wave action; therefore, land expands because sediment accumulation exceeds removal, rather than erosion dominating and creating landforms like headlands or stacks.
