Which outcome occurs when suspended sediment load decreases in rivers discharging loess?

💡 Explanation

Decreased sediment leads to diminished deposition at the river delta, and therefore decreased delta subsidence, because the isostatic rebound caused by sediment accumulation has weakened; rather than changes associated to streams or features upstream.
