← GeographyWhich outcome develops during glacial retreat with abundant moraine deposition?
A)Formation of kettle lakes and swamps✓
B)Increased coastal erosion sediment transport
C)Accelerated chemical weathering oxidation
D)Stabilized regional subsidence rates
💡 Explanation
Kettle lakes form because large ice blocks left by a retreating glacier become buried in sediment. This creates depressions which, upon melting, fill to form lakes, therefore kettle lakes exist rather than direct runoff, indicating moraine damming.
