Which consequence results when continental ice sheets melt?

💡 Explanation

As continental ice sheets melt and reduce overburden, isostatic rebound causes land uplift because the lithosphere rises, rather than suppressing rebound; therefore, option A is correct. Other outcomes don't directly follow or create land uplift because other factors are more prominent, such as sediment composition affecting aeolian sediment transport.

• Which process limits lava flow reach, when effusive eruption?
• Which outcome results when soil experiences intensive laterization pedogenesis?
• Which outcome follows accelerated glacial retreat on bedrock?
• Which outcome results when increased wave refraction focuses energy onto pre-existing coastal sea stacks composed of weaker sedimentary rock?
• Which consequence results when groundwater acidification accelerates sinkhole formation?
• Which risk significantly increases when coastal upwelling currents weaken during an El Niño event?
