← GeographyWhich consequence results when glacier calving exacerbates cirque erosion?
A)Increased glacial isostatic rebound
B)Rapid proglacial lake expansion✓
C)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
D)Suppressed subglacial sediment transport
💡 Explanation
Rapid proglacial lake expansion occurs because enhanced glacier calving increases meltwater discharge. This, therefore, expands the down-valley lake’s size via meltwater deposition, rather than chemical weathering, which is slower, or impacting isostatic rebound directly.
