Which outcome occurs when a glacial lake outburst?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment deposition results due to catastrophic flooding. Downstream valleys experience a surge of water and sediment via the **hydrodynamic jump** mechanism; therefore, deposition increases rather than decreases because increased flow energy facilitates greater sediment transport.
