Which risk increases for coastal settlements during the isostatic rebound phase following a megathrust earthquake?

💡 Explanation

Tectonic uplift associated with isostatic rebound can reshape coastlines irregularly, therefore amplified tsunami wave inundation becomes more hazardous because the changed bathymetry refracts waves differently, rather than increased volcanism or glacial activity affecting wave dynamics.
