← GeographyWhich constraint on glacial transport favours loess deposition?
A)Glacier base temperature is high
B)Meltwater discharge rate is low
C)Rock flour supply rate is high✓
D)Terminal moraine erosion is intense
💡 Explanation
Greater rock flour causes more deposition because glacial grinding creates plentiful fine sediment; this is the mechanism of glacial comminution. Therefore option C is correct rather than higher temperatures or lower discharge causing sediment alteration.
