← GeographyWhich outcome results when sediment supply exceeds capacity in fjords?
A)Increased delta formation at fjordheads✓
B)Accelerated glacial retreat due to albedo changes
C)Enhanced isostatic rebound near coastlines
D)Decreased marine productivity via nutrient restriction
💡 Explanation
Increased delta formation happens because sediment deposition overwhelms the fjords' removal capabilities, and aggradation occurs through sediment ACCUMULATION rather than erosion. Isostatic rebound happens due to ice mass changes, therefore it would not happen due to the sediment load alone.
