Which mechanism causes relatively shallow sill depths at the mouth of many fjords?

💡 Explanation

When glaciers retreat from fjords, isostatic rebound occurs because the land rises unevenly after ice removal, combined with differential erosion rates concentrating at fjord mouths, leading to shallower sill depths. Therefore post-glacial tilt results, rather than other mechanisms which affect sediments or tectonic processes.
