← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacial meltwater upwells subglacially containing sediment?
A)Formation of esker deposition patterns✓
B)Creation of kettle lake depressions
C)Development of braided stream channels
D)Intensification of glacial crevasses
💡 Explanation
Eskers arise from subglacial meltwater releasing sediments due to reduced speed; this is the deposition mechanism. Subsequent covering by ice, then melting leaves the deposit; therefore eskers form, rather than kettle lakes, which involve stagnant ice.
