Which outcome occurs when a glacier retreats via ablation?

💡 Explanation

Receding glaciers create fluvioglacial landscapes because meltwater carries sediments, leading to the deposition of features like eskers via meltwater channels. Therefore, esker and kame deposition increases, rather than creating the other features, which require active glacial ice.
