← GeographyWhich risk increases surrounding fjord formation when isostatic rebound stalls?
A)Increased rate of glacial isostasy
B)Heightened vulnerability to submergence✓
C)Decreased sediment accumulation stability
D)Reduced sea-level influence variability
💡 Explanation
Heightened vulnerability to submergence increases because isostatic rebound normally counteracts sea-level rise, limiting submersion; the Stall slows uplift. Therefore, submergence is greater, rather than other fluvial geomorphological change.
