Which glacial outcome occurs when a bergschrund develops?

A)Crevasse widening by frost fracture
B)Increased ablation rates at terminus
C)Enhanced till deposition on outwash
D)Expansion of glacial isostatic rebound

💡 Explanation

Crevasses widen near the bergschrund due to pressure release and subsequent frost fracture, facilitating cirque formation through nivation, because freeze-thaw cycles disintegrate rock. Therefore, the cirque enlarges, rather than terminus wastage driven by other warming or deposition away from glacier.
