← GeographyWhich environmental consequence results when glacial isostatic adjustment?
A)Localized gravity anomalies change significantly✓
B)Stratospheric ozone depletion accelerates rapidly
C)Thermohaline circulation diminishes drastically
D)Enhanced weathering of continental crust occurs
💡 Explanation
Glacial isostatic adjustment modifies the distribution of mass shifting the gravity field because mantle material undergoes viscous flow restoring equilibrium following ice mass unloading; therefore gravity measurements change rather than direct ozone or ocean effects, neither weathering.
