Which outcome occurs when increased sediment load overwhelms accretionary wedge strength?

💡 Explanation

Tsunami risk increases due to sudden, large-scale submarine landslides driven by gravitational collapse. This occurs because the underconsolidation mechanism triggers wedge failure; therefore, a tsunami is more likely, rather than dampened waves or modified volcanism.
