Geography

Which outcome occurs when a confined glacial outburst flood (jökulhlaup) erodes subglacial stream channels?

A)Increased geothermal vent activity nearby
B)Enhanced downstream sediment deposition rates
C)Reduced stream channel sinuosity upstream
D)Decreased coastal erosion at river mouths

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment deposition happens because high discharge events cause drastic changes in sediment transport capacity during the process of fluvial entrainment; therefore sediment deposition increases dramatically rather than initiating geothermal activity or reduced coastal erosion effects observed elsewhere.
