Which outcome occurs when continuous subduction ceases along a coast?

💡 Explanation

Isostatic rebound causes the land to rise because the weight of the subducting plate and accumulated sediments is suddenly removed; therefore a post-subduction uplift occurs, rather than continued plate-driven activity or seabed alterations.
