Which phenomenon leads to increased flooding in fjords?

💡 Explanation

Increased glacial meltwater causes increased glacial lake formation. The mechanism, glacial lake outburst floods, results in sudden, large releases of water because unstable moraine dams fail. Therefore flooding increases rather than reduced loading from isostatic rebound affecting fjord water levels.
