← GeographyWhich outcome is caused by crustal rebound near faults?
A)Post-glacial isostatic adjustment✓
B)Increased mantle plume volcanism
C)Decreased thermal gradient strength
D)Intensified oceanic ridge spreading
💡 Explanation
Crustal rebound initiates isostatic adjustment because ice sheet unloading decreases lithospheric pressure locally. This uplift elevates continental land masses rather than augmenting volcanic activity; therefore, A is the correct answer.
