Which process triggers rapid delta subsidence around human-engineered lakes?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced sediment load to the created lake basin leads to isostatic depression because of the increased weight. Localized isostatic depression causes subsidence, therefore deltas sink rather than undergo uniform regional tectonic uplift due to plate movements.
