← GeographyWhich feature results when ice mass wanes inside a cirque?
A)Formation of a tarn lake basin✓
B)Deposition of an esker deposit
C)Development of a braided delta system
D)Creation of a ventifact assemblage
💡 Explanation
The formation of a tarn occurs because glacial erosion in a cirque creates a depression, which is then typically filled with meltwater forming a lake; therefore a basin remains rather than esker deposition following a subglacial tunnel.
