Which outcome results when glacial meltwater increases sediment discharge into a proglacial lake?

💡 Explanation

When increased glacial meltwater enters a proglacial lake, sediment deposition occurs because coarse sediment settles rapidly near the inflow forming a delta, extending the shoreline. Therefore delta formation results, rather than increased stability, reduced turbidity, or enhanced oxygen, which require different limnological conditions.
