← GeographyWhich geographical change accelerates when fjord sill depth decreases?
A)Enhanced basin sediment ventilation✓
B)Increased glacial isostatic rebound
C)Intensified halocline salinity stratification
D)Reduced anoxic bottom water formation
💡 Explanation
Decreased sill depth enhances turbulent mixing because increased tidal flow velocity over the sill causes turbulent overturn, therefore promoting re-oxygenation, rather than strengthening stratification because deeper sills trap denser water.
