← GeographyWhich deformation occurs on continents undergoing isostatic rebound?
A)Erosion rate accelerates rapidly inland
B)Land uplift becomes greater inland✓
C)Tectonic plate movement shifts sideways
D)Volcanic activity increases significantly offshore
💡 Explanation
Land uplift increases more inland during isostatic rebound because the unloaded area experiences greater vertical displacement due to the removal of the heavy ice sheet rather than increased erosion. Therefore, uplift is focused towards the center, rather than other tectonic or volcanic effects.
