Which outcome of glacial rebound causes crustal earthquakes?

💡 Explanation

Rapid deglaciation causes crustal uplift via isostatic adjustment; this concentrates shear stress on existing fault lines because of differential vertical movement. Therefore, seismic activity increases, rather than decreases that would occur due to reduced static loading.
