← GeographyWhich deformation occurs due to post-glacial isostatic rebound?
A)Crustal uplift and decreased earthquake frequency✓
B)Tectonic subduction with volcanic intensification
C)Seismic intensification and oceanic trench deepening
D)Lithospheric downwarping with fault reactivation
💡 Explanation
Crustal uplift occurs due to isostatic adjustment of the lithosphere after the removal of ice; therefore, unloading causes uplift and reduces stress, rather than tectonic subduction or downwarping intensification, because of removed overburden.
