← GeographyWhich outcome occurs after a sudden seismic uplift?
A)Localized isostatic rebound begins shortly✓
B)Crustal thinning due to mantle upwelling
C)Formation of a deep ocean trench
D)Increased rate of glacial accumulation
💡 Explanation
After a seismic uplift, localized isostatic rebound will occur because the crust adjusts to the new mass distribution due to isostasy; therefore, the land rises, rather than causing crustal thinning or a deep ocean trench linked to subduction dynamics.
