← GeographyWhich outcome results, when a glacial surge transports sediment?
A)Formation of a terminal moraine delta✓
B)Creation of esker drainage structures
C)Development of sorted loess deposits
D)Intensified till plain stratification
💡 Explanation
A glacial surge rapidly deposits unsorted debris because frictional drag at the glacier terminus causes sediment accumulation. This forms a terminal moraine delta rather than eskers or loess which involve meltwater or wind, therefore plain stratification is less effective here.
