Which outcome results downstream when glaciers accelerate surge flow?

A)Increased proglacial lake outburst floods
B)Reduced sediment deposition on floodplain
C)Decreased permafrost thaw stability
D)Elevated cryoconite hole formation rates

💡 Explanation

Increased glacial surge flow causes destabilization enhancing proglacial lake expansion leading to outburst floods, because the rapid melt increases water volume; therefore, enhanced flooding occurs, rather than changes in sediment, permafrost thawing, or cryoconite activity elsewhere.
