← GeographyWhich feature results when glacial isostatic rebound lags sea-level adjustments?
A)Emergent, elevated fjord coastlines✓
B)Submerged, eroded moraine features
C)Extensive floodplain terrace formation
D)Increased frequency of tidal bore events
💡 Explanation
Emergent fjord coastlines appear due to isostatic rebound; this process uplifts land slowly after glacial retreat. Eustatic sea level rise occurs because melting adds water volume; therefore, uplift exceeds sea level rise, rather than moraines being submerged.
