← GeographyWhich outcome results in fjord waters from high precipitation overcoming natural dilution?
A)Anoxic bottom water conditions✓
B)Increased tidal range fluctuation
C)Accelerated glacial calving rate
D)Intensified coastal erosion severity
💡 Explanation
Anoxic conditions appear due to excess freshwater inhibiting vertical mixing; this process of stratification reduces oxygenation because density differences increase rather than decrease, capping the fjord surface; therefore, bottom-water life is challenged, rather than shorelines, tide range or glacier dynamics.
