Which characteristic erosion pattern indicates formation of a coastline from glacial fjords?

💡 Explanation

When glaciers retreat from coastal valleys, U-shaped valleys are flooded by rising sea levels, forming fjords, a process powered by glacial erosion mechanics during ice retreat. Therefore flooded U-shaped valleys are diagnostic of fjord formation, rather than V- Shaped valleys, deltas or sea caves formed by different, coastal processes.
