← GeographyWhich outcome results when glacial meltwater exceeds evaporation?
A)Proglacial lake formation accelerates✓
B)Ice damming reduces significantly
C)Eskers formation rate plateaus
D)Kettle lakes formation declines
💡 Explanation
Proglacial lakes form outside of glaciers due to increased meltwater. Positive feedback accelerates this process because increased volume undergoes ablation more rapidly due to **thermal erosion**, therefore lake formation accelerates, rather than it declines because of less effective ice damming.
