← GeographyWhich outcome directly follows increased sediment deposition rates diminishing fjord depth?
A)Accelerated isostatic rebound process
B)Reduced salinity stratification feedback✓
C)Increased glacial erosion intensity
D)Enhanced thermohaline current strength
💡 Explanation
Decreased fjord depth from sediment deposition reduces vertical mixing because the stratification feedback is disturbed. This occurs because weakened density gradients reduce overturning, therefore the salinity profile homogenization slows, rather than accelerating rebound.
