← GeographyWhich outcome occurs given substantial terminal moraine sediment deposition?
A)Outwash plain formation and braided streams✓
B)Deep V-shaped gorge river incision
C)Increased intensity of local chemical weathering
D)Enhanced continental crustal subduction rates
💡 Explanation
Outwash plains form due to glacial meltwater carrying sediment beyond the moraine via fluvioglacial processes; therefore, meltwater sorts sediment, forming plains with braided streams, rather than valleys, weathering changes, or tectonic effects, via localized sorting.
