Which outcome occurs on deltas with decreasing alluvial sediment supply?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing alluvial input leads to delta subsidence because sediment loading declines reducing isostatic compensation – the isostatic depression mechanism offsets the delta's weight. This subsidence occurs, therefore, rather than aggradation which needs deposition; overtopping frequency depends on fluvial dynamics rather than just delta subsidence.
