← GeographyWhich condition dictates fjord depth restriction at sill?
A)Erosion-deposition balances glacial trough
B)Post rebound isostatic adjustment
C)Glacial ice sheet flow dynamics✓
D)Changing sea-level thermal expansion
💡 Explanation
Fjord sills are formed by differential glacial erosion; Ice Sheet Flow directs increased erosion shallower because greater pressure melts basal ice layers rather than deeper in trough, therefore glacial ice sheet dynamics, rather than other factors drive fjord's restriction depth.
