← GeographyWhich mechanism accelerates sediment deposition at the seaward mouth of a fjord system following deglaciation?
A)Isostatic rebound reducing base level
B)Halocline development limiting mixing
C)Sediment load decline from weathering
D)Flocculation induced by estuarine mixing✓
💡 Explanation
When glacial meltwater enters the sea, electrostatic destabilization causes flocculation because freshwater meets saltwater, accelerating sedimentation . Therefore flocculation occurs, rather than isostatic rebound, reduced weathering load, or halocline stratification all of which require different environmental conditions.
