Which risk increases when tectonic uplift obstructs glacial meltwater flow?

💡 Explanation

Glacial Lake Outburst Floods increase because impoundment of meltwater increases hydrostatic pressure until the barrier fails via hydrofracturing, therefore creating a sudden release of water, rather than gradual drainage or harmless subsurface flow.
