Which sedimentary consequence typically results when rapid deglaciation occurs near a fjord complex?

A)Increased marine turbidity currents
B)Decreased river delta formation
C)Amplified coastal dune stabilization
D)Reduced chemical weathering rates

💡 Explanation

When rapid deglaciation occurs, massive sediment influx occurs because glaciers deposit large amounts of poorly sorted material into narrow fjord valleys, leading to density imbalances causing turbidity currents. Therefore increased turbidity results, rather than altered delta formation, dunes, or altered weathterig, which depend on different sediment transport conditions.
