← GeographyWhich hydrologic outcome results when glacial meltwater fills a kettle?
A)Formation of a kettle lake✓
B)Increased rate of glacial calving
C)Amplified isostatic rebound locally
D)Reduced rate weathering of bedrock
💡 Explanation
A kettle forms when a buried ice block prevents sediment deposition; melting then creates a depression filled water. This process is called ablation because the buried ice sublimates, rather than amplified rates of glacial calving.
