Which outcome results when sediment accumulates excessively within fjords?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment deposition in fjords encourages delta plain formation because the sediment infills the deep basin via sediment transport mechanisms. Therefore, a delta plain builds outward, rather than thermohaline circulation changes or glacial calving significantly influencing those landforms.
