← GeographyWhich topographic outcome during deglaciation influences cirque lake formation?
A)Isostatic rebound alters regional slope✓
B)Sediment compaction decreases basin depth
C)Cryoturbation increases talus stability
D)Biogenic activity reduces sediment load
💡 Explanation
Isostatic rebound differentially uplifts formerly glaciated interiors because the unloading of ice causes the lithosphere to rise; therefore, it alters topographic gradients and increases the likelihood of cirque lake impoundment rather than compaction processes alone.
