← GeographyWhich outcome of glacial movement increases when ice streams surge?
A)Increased sediment drift formation rate✓
B)Reduced esker depositional sequences
C)Accelerated formation of kettle lakes
D)Diminished cryoconite distribution rates
💡 Explanation
An ice stream surge accelerates sediment detachment via basal sliding, therefore deposition increases because the sediment drift formation rate rises along marginal moraines rather than cryoconite spread rates increasing or esker formation diminishing.
