Which outcome occurs when sediment load overwhelms a delta's outflow to a lake?

A)Advancing delta lobe formation
B)Formation of submerged aquatic vegetation
C)Decreased lake water residence time
D)Pelagic food web stabilization

💡 Explanation

Advancing delta lobes form due to sediment deposition overwhelming the outflow capacity, because aggradation pushes distributary channels forward; therefore, new land emerges rather than plant growth or water changes, because it's controlled by deposition rates.
