← GeographyWhich change results in coastal regions when isostatic rebound completes?
A)Reduced erosion vulnerability there✓
B)Increased seismic activity locally
C)Submerged paleovalleys get scoured
D)Marine species local extinctions
💡 Explanation
Completing isostatic rebound causes land uplift through vertical movement after glacial retreat; because of epeirogeny (continental uplift after ice melt), coastal areas elevate. Therefore, there is reduced erosion, rather than increased activity; uplift exposes new, stable land.
