Which outcome occurs when rising sea temperatures accelerate glacial melting near coastal islands?

💡 Explanation

Barrier island submergence occurs because rising sea levels and rapid glacial melt floods the islands; this induces enhanced marine transgression, rather than isostatic rebound acceleration. Density-driven circulation and weathering are separate unrelated processes.
