Which process increases when isostatic depression ceases unloading glacial fjords?

A)Rate of sediment infilling
B)Sea ice formation extent
C)Methane hydrate destabilization rate
D)Halocline stratification weakening

💡 Explanation

Sediment in-filling increases because reduced isostatic rebound decreases accommodation space. Post-glacial rebound from ice mass removal causes the land to rise; therefore, ceasing rebound allows formerly trapped sediment to rapidly accumulate, rather than land rising to create more space.
