← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when sediment accumulates irregularly within lakes?
A)Formation of submerged glacial karsts
B)Development of isolated thermocline layers
C)Establishment of differentiated benthic habitats✓
D)Augmentation of epilimnion phosphorus concentration
💡 Explanation
Differentiated benthic habitats establish because uneven sediment deposition disrupts uniform bottom conditions, creating varied substrate compositions via Sediment Sorting; therefore this outcome directly results, rather than altered thermal characteristics or phosphorus concentrations in the water column.
