← GeographyWhich coastal outcome sharply increases with glacial isostatic rebound?
A)Emergence of submerged paleoshorelines✓
B)Increased sediment cell equilibrium
C)Intensified offshore barrier island migration
D)Amplified estuarine stratified circulation
💡 Explanation
Shorelines emerge because glacial isostatic rebound causes uplift via viscoelastic deformation faster than sea-level rise; therefore, submerged paleoshorelines appear, rather than increased sediment deposits or amplified circulation, which involve different mechanisms.
