← GeographyWhich process limits fjord formation during periods of tectonic uplift?
A)Isostatic rebound equilibrium✓
B)Glacial erosion weakening
C)Chemical weathering increase
D)Sea level drop increase
💡 Explanation
Isostatic rebound counters glacial downcutting because the uplift reduces the depth of glacial erosion relative to sea level, therefore limiting fjord depth, rather than enhanced glacial erosion, which would deepen existing fjords.
