Which volcanic outcome from Iceland's glaciers melting occurs from isostatic rebound?

A)Increase in eruption frequency
B)Increase in lava viscosity
C)Decrease in stratovolcano formation
D)Decrease in overall magma production

💡 Explanation

Increased eruption frequency occurs due to decreased pressure on the mantle; therefore, isostatic rebound triggers decompression melting, because the removal of ice mass reduces lithostatic pressure rather than altering magma properties during fractional crystallization.
