Which process most directly shapes the long profile depth of a fjord's underwater topography after glacial retreat?

💡 Explanation

When glaciers retreat from fjords, previously scoured basins become pathways for sediment deposition by turbidity currents, because the sediment laden flows preferentially move down the steep underwater slopes. Therefore A results, rather than B, C, or D which have minimal impact on sculpting underwater fjords.

• Which mechanism limits the poleward extent of Hadley cells in Earth's atmosphere?
• Which material erosion results when atmospheric pressure gradients accelerate particles?
• Which outcome arises near a transform fault zone with high silica content?
• Near active stratovolcanoes, which consequence results when pyroclastic flows encounter a large body of water?
• Which risk increases when a large dam is constructed across a strike-slip fault like the San Andreas Transform?
• Which effect increases when riverine levees constrict floodplains subjected to increased precipitation?
