Which mechanism causes the formation of large pluvial lakes during glacial periods?

💡 Explanation

When glacial periods cause climate shifts toward cooler temperatures, increased precipitation and meltwater runoff coupled with reduced evaporation lead to significant increase in lake water volume because of intensified hydro cycle. Therefore, increased available water results,rather than uplift,down-warping or intrusion shifts which require different mechanisms.
