Which mechanism significantly increases sediment deposition rates at deep fjord basins with seasonal meltwater influx?

💡 Explanation

When meltwater influx increases, rapid deposition occurs because the fresh water creates a strong salinity gradient, inducing flocculation forcing suspended particles to bind together and sink quicker. Therefore, flocculation raises sediment deposition, rather than osmosis related effects, Coriolis, or halocline blocking, which have differing mechanisms.
