Which mechanism forms a moraine-dammed lake during deglaciation?

💡 Explanation

Glacial retreat causes meltwater to accumulate behind a moraine through deposition, therefore creating a lake because the moraine impedes drainage, rather than rebound which affects regional land elevation.

• Which feedback results when previously vegetated sand dunes lose their plant cover?
• Which depositional outcome occurs when lava encounters glacial ice?
• Which risk increases when increased freshwater runoff disrupts the density gradient within a subtropical gyre?
• Which mechanism diminishes intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) intensity?
• Which risk increases when cryospheric melting destabilizes thermokarst landscapes?
• Which outcome primarily results when upwelling zones experience increased stratification due to surface warming?
