← GeographyWhich consequence results when bedrock compression reduces post-glacial rebound near fjords?
A)Accelerated isostatic sea level rise
B)Decreased methane hydrate formation
C)Enhanced salt water intrusion✓
D)Reduced subglacial volcano eruptions
💡 Explanation
Enhanced salt water intrusion worsens where bedrock compression slows *isostatic rebound* near fjords, because formerly compressed bedrock rebounds slowly, therefore increasing coastal submergence and allowing prolonged intrusion, rather than creating uplift that would limit intrusion.
