Which outcome occurs when a fjord's sill restricts deepwater exchange?

A)Progressively anoxic bottom water develops
B)Tidal amplification drastically decreases
C)Glacial calving rate will sharply rise
D)Sediment turbidites become well-sorted

💡 Explanation

Anoxic conditions develop due to density stratification preventing oxygen replenishment from surface waters; this stagnation results from limited Circulation Restriction because the sill impedes the water movement. Therefore, deoxygenation results rather than tidal effects or changed sedimentation.
