Which risk increases when a fjord's stratification weakens?

💡 Explanation

Increased turbidity current frequency becomes more likely because density differences, usually maintained by haloclines and thermoclines, are reduced when stratification weakens; this destabilizes sediments. The weakened `density stratification of seawater` allows downslope movement rather than stable layering. Therefore, A is correct rather than B, C, or D.

• Which phenomenon occurs when deflation removes fine sediment?
• Which outcome occurs when intense evaporation causes deflation?
• Which process drives lateral migration contributing to oxbow lake formation within a meandering fluvial system bordering floodplain forests?
• Which outcome occurs when a steep mountain slope underlying a glacial cirque thaws, exceeding its angle of repose?
• Which outcome increases when constructed river levees cause channel incision?
• Which outcome occurs when transform fault locking duration increases?
