Which effect primarily governs sediment transport direction during glacial retreat?

💡 Explanation

Fluvial erosion via glacial meltwater determines sediments' course because meltwater carries debris, therefore carving channels into exposed landscapes during glacier recession, rather than direct Coriolis Force or other terrestrial effects.
