Which phenomenon limits fjord formation beyond temperate coastal regions?

💡 Explanation

Glacial erosion creates fjords, but thermal gradient inhibition prevents glacier formation in warmer climates because sufficiently cold temperatures are required to support ice mass balance, therefore glaciers retreat rapidly rather than forming, rather than accumulating mass as required for widespread glacial carving.
