Which 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.
