← GeographyWhich long-term outcome primarily results from isostatic rebound post-deglaciation on coastal islands?
A)Emergence of new land area✓
B)Increased coastal erosion rates
C)Decreased ocean salinity levels
D)Greater frequency of storm surges
💡 Explanation
Isostatic rebound causes land uplift after ice sheet removal because the lithosphere slowly returns to equilibrium following unloading; therefore land emerges, rather than erosion accelerating due to sea-level rise.
