← GeographyWhich flooding outcome risks increased turbidity within coastal fjords?
A)Jökulhlaup due to subglacial volcanic activity✓
B)Tsunami caused by submarine landslides
C)Storm surge during extreme weather events
D)Sea-level rise inundating lowland areas
💡 Explanation
Jökulhlaup increases turbidity because Glacial Outburst Floods (GOF) rapidly release suspended sediments. Sediment transport overwhelms fjord ecosystems, therefore turbidity increases and overwhelms the turbidity regulation, rather than more uniform inundation effects altering the ecosystem gradually.
