← GeographyWhich mechanism intensifies coastal erosion rates along fjord shorelines during regional isostatic rebound?
A)Decreased wave refraction patterns
B)Increased sediment supply limitation✓
C)Enhanced biological colonization rates
D)Raised base level of fluvial erosion
💡 Explanation
When isostatic rebound occurs, sediment supply is limited because uplifted land exposes bedrock, impeding sediment transport to fjords via rivers and glaciers, thus intensifying erosion. Therefore, supply limitations result, rather than changed wave action, colonization rates, or base level changes, mechanisms that don't directly relate to isostatic uplift/sediment dynamics.
