← GeographyWhich risk significantly increases when island vegetation dies?
A)Accelerated island coastal erosion✓
B)Reduced isostatic rebound rates
C)Increased thermohaline circulation
D)Decreased insolation albedo feedback
💡 Explanation
Increased loss of island vegetation accelerates coastal erosion, because root systems no longer stabilize sediment via *bioturbation*. Therefore erosion risk increases greatly, rather than affecting isostatic rebound, ocean currents, or albedo feedback.
