← GeographyWhich lake outcome is intensified during periods exhibiting high glacial isostatic rebound rates?
A)Accelerated formation of raised shorelines✓
B)Increased hypolimnetic oxygen concentration
C)Decreased epilimnion water temperature
D)Diminished meromictic layer stability
💡 Explanation
Raised shorelines form due to vertical uplift from glacial isostatic rebound. When rates increase, this uplift quickens near shorelines because of crustal flexure; therefore, shorelines elevate more rapidly, rather than temperature changes or altering lake mixing.
