← GeographyWhich consequence results when isostatic rebound stresses pre-existing fjord bedrock?
A)Increased subsea landslide risk✓
B)Accelerated coastal sediment deposition
C)Enhanced thermohaline current stability
D)Greater methane hydrate formation rates
💡 Explanation
Subglacial erosion creates over-steepened fjord walls prone to collapse; if the bedrock is stressed during isostatic rebound, slope instability increases, because rebound triggers fracture propagation, therefore increasing landslide potential, rather than affecting current stability.
