← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when regional uplift increases coastal erosion rates?
A)Increased sediment supply enhances beaches
B)Submergence creates extensive fjord landscapes
C)Isostatic rebound offsets eustatic changes
D)Newly exposed rock weathers rapidly into regolith✓
💡 Explanation
Uplift exposes fresh rock to the elements; therefore, enhanced weathering occurs because the uplift drives mechanical exfoliation and chemical weathering, rather than stabilization. The mechanism causing accelerated weathering is differential stress, rather than other coastal depositional processes.
