← GeographyWhich outcome results on coastlines following glacial retreat?
A)Isostatic rebound uplifts preexisting sea stacks✓
B)Erosion uniformly decreases on all features
C)Sea level transgression submerges coastal features
D)Longshore drift ceases on adjacent beaches
💡 Explanation
Isostatic rebound causes uplift because the removal of glacial ice reduces the load on the Earth's crust. Therefore, sea stacks increase in relative height rather than submerging due to sea level rise because the landmass is rebounding.
