← GeographyWhich risk increases as glacial isostatic rebound elevates fjord landmasses?
A)Increased coastal erosion susceptibility✓
B)Enhanced submarine landslide events
C)Localized seismic activity amplification
D)Reduced fjord water column mixing
💡 Explanation
Increased topography results in steeper slopes exposed to wave action; this triggers increased coastal erosion because unloading promotes uplift and steepening. Therefore, coastal erosion increases, rather than submarine slides being enhanced because of rebound affecting sediment stability less.
