Which morphological consequence results when glacial erosion deepens valleys?

💡 Explanation

The **glacial scouring** mechanism primarily carves deep, U-shaped valleys that, upon sea level rise, become fjords because the glacier erodes downwards more efficiently than streams. Therefore, fjords develop rather than other fluvial or depositional features due to this unique erosional process.
