Which outcome results on a volcanic island undergoing isostatic rebound?

💡 Explanation

Isostatic rebound causes uplift of the island, increasing the land area and therefore expansion of the freshwater lens volume as groundwater replenishes the elevated terrain. This occurs because hydrostatic equilibrium shifts, rather than increased erosion.
