Which erosional outcome characterizes fjord formation during glaciation?

💡 Explanation

Abrasion deepening below sea level forms fjords because glacial erosion is particularly effective at eroding rock below sea level, therefore carving deep U-shaped valleys. Isostatic rebound uplifts the land, rather than creating deep submerged features characteristic of fjords.
