Which mechanism do salmon use to locate freshwater spawning territories when river confluence landmarks disappear due to glacial dam collapse?

A)Geomagnetic imprinting navigation
B)Polarized light direction finding
C)Celestial body positioning
D)Infrasound frequency mapping

💡 Explanation

Salmon rely on geomagnetic imprinting navigation, where they memorize Earth's fields as juveniles; therefore, they can navigate back, because this remains stable rather than riverine landmarks shifted by unpredictable geologic events.
