← GeographyWhich depositional outcome results from decreased glacial ablation?
A)Esker ridge formation
B)Loess sediment deposition
C)Moraine till accumulation✓
D)Kettle hole development
💡 Explanation
Moraine till accumulates due to reduced ablation because the glacial material is deposited rather than being carried away by meltwater from the glacier through sediment transport; therefore a moraine forms, rather than esker ridges by meltwater confinement.
