Which topographical outcome results when glacial isostatic rebound is slower than coastal sediment flow?

A)Net marine terrace formation occurs
B)Rapid fault-block mountain uplift
C)Accelerated submarine canyon formation
D)Increased formation rate if fjords

💡 Explanation

Net marine terrasse formation results because the rate of isostatic adjustment cannot keep up with the depositional rate of sediment flow; therefore, a new bench of land and sediment is deposited rather than an uplifting shoreline or deep-sea erosion patterns.
