← GeographyWhich outcome arises when the isostatic rebound causes differential uplift across lake basins?
A)Formation distinctive stepped beach terraces✓
B)Increased rates of tectonic undercutting
C)Regional metamorphic rock foliation
D)Dissolution of iron mineral deposits
💡 Explanation
Stepped beach terraces form because differential uplift due to isostatic rebound elevates portions of former shorelines. These shorelines become terraces exhibiting uplift history, therefore this outcome is observed, rather than undercutting or metamorphism, which necessitate different processes.
