Which long-term geomorphic consequence primarily results when isostatic rebound occurs after glacial retreat in fjord regions?

💡 Explanation

When glacial ice melts, isostatic rebound occurs because the Earth's crust, previously depressed by the ice mass, slowly rises due to reduced pressure, leading to land uplift. Therefore emergence of elevated shorelines around fjords results, rather than delta progradation, sea cliff erosion, or land subsidence which happen under alternate mechanisms.
