← GeographyWhich phenomenon limits downstream sediment transport from glacial streams during colder seasons?
A)Ice-dammed lake outburst floods
B)Decreased sediment mobilization✓
C)Increased vegetation-driven cohesion
D)Enhanced cryoturbation soil processes
💡 Explanation
Reduced stream flow limits transport because decreased thermal erosion reduces sediment supply; thus, sediment mobilization is reduced influencing sediment transport capacity, therefore less downstream sediment transport occurs rather than increased flash floods.
