Which outcome occurs when glacial meltwater fills depressions?

💡 Explanation

Extensive kettle lake development occurs due to glacial retreat because isostatic depression traps meltwater, initiating the *formation mechanism of kettle lakes* when buried blocks of ice melt. Therefore kettle lakes, rather than other glacial features or processes, dominate the landscape, because their physical location favors pooling.
