A newly formed glacial lake breaches its moraine dam; which process controls flash flood development downstream?

💡 Explanation

Flood waves surge forward in a hydraulic jump because the rapid deceleration causes energy dissipation and rising water rather than wave propagation; therefore a hydraulic jump indicates dangerous water volume increase, rather than mere ablation processes.
