Which long-term outcome results when isostatic rebound lags behind eustatic sea-level rise?

💡 Explanation

Increased island submergence will occur because isostatic rebound, the lifting of land masses after glacial retreat, is slower than eustatic sea level rise, the absolute increase global sea levels; therefore, islands become more vulnerable to erosion, rather than net deposition.
