← GeographyWhich risk increases when glacial sediment accumulates at isostatic rebound points?
A)Increased longshore drift velocities
B)Localized glacial outwash plains✓
C)Enhanced crustal melting rates
D)Higher thermohaline mixing fractions
💡 Explanation
Localized glacial outwash plains are exacerbated. because meltwater concentrates along the newly exposed land. This deposition is further driven by sediment accumulation, therefore distinct deposits form, rather than the effects dispersing without isostatic minima.
