← GeographyWhich mechanism primarily causes accelerated seabed landslides near fjord deltas?
A)Isostatic rebound induced sediment destabilization✓
B)Cryostatic solifluction altering slope stability
C)Halostatic salt dome induced faulting
D)Orographic precipitation saturation increasing pore-water pressure
💡 Explanation
Isostatic rebound contributes to destabilization because the reduced ice load triggers the uplift of land, leading to a readjustment of sediment within the delta and seabed. Increased sediment stress causes landslides, rather than different mechanisms like solifluction on subaerial slopes.
