← GeographyWhich deposits result when lowered hydraulic conductivity occurs?
A)Enhanced glacial varve sediment layering✓
B)Increased abyssal plain sedimentation rates
C)Reduced floodplain channel meandering
D)Intensified desert pavement deflation processes
💡 Explanation
Enhanced glacial varves are likely because reduced hydraulic conductivity restricts water flow between layers, leading to finer sediment differentiation and more distinct varve deposition; therefore, option A is correct rather than options B, C, or D due decreased sediment sorting efficiency.
