← GeographyWhich process results after deglaciation causes isostatic rebound in a fjord landscape?
A)Lowering coastal plains and estuaries
B)Emergence of marine terraces above sea level✓
C)Increased frequency of submarine landslides
D)Acceleration of sediment deposition in deep basins
💡 Explanation
When glacial ice mass is removed, isostatic rebound occurs because the Earth's crust slowly rises in response to reduced pressure, causing land uplift. Therefore emergence of marine terraces results, rather than submergence, landslides, or sedimentation, which are influenced by different factors like sea level changes or slope instability.
