Which process causes increased stream turbidity during glacial retreats?

💡 Explanation

Glacial retreats expose rock surfaces which are then pulverized by the glacier, producing glacial flour due to the mechanism of abrasion; therefore, greater glacial flour increases the stream's sediment load, rather than reduced velocity impacts on existing sediment.
