Which risk is increased for low-lying islands during glacial isostatic rebound?

💡 Explanation

Increased wave-induced erosion results because the isostatic rebound causes a relative decrease in sea level, exposing shorelines to more wave action; this amplifies erosive power rather than buffering it with previous water cover, therefore increasing erosion.
