Which outcome occurs when increased ice sheet melt accelerates isostatic rebound?

A)Reduced local gravitational field strength
B)Increased frequency of glacial earthquakes
C)Decreased albedo due to darker exposure
D)Altered regional effective elastic thickness

💡 Explanation

A reduced gravitational field strength can occur because isostatic rebound causes redistribution of mass and, therefore, a change in gravitational pull during glacial isostatic adjustment, rather than increased quake activity. Mass redistribution, rather than darker surfaces causes measurable changes in the gravitational field.
