Which outcome occurs when glacial meltwater influences longshore drift?

💡 Explanation

Increased meltwater with sediment will enhance longshore drift, because the increased water flow increases sediment suspension and transport. Therefore the answer is increased sediment transport, rather than fjord changes that require tectonic motion.
