Which outcome occurs when rapid isostatic rebound exposes coastal alluvial deposits after deglaciation?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil cryoturbation and frost heave will occur via freeze-thaw weathering, because isostatic rebound exposes previously protected alluvial silts to periglacial climate conditions. Therefore, silts become more physically weathered, rather than experiencing subsidence or aeolian processes.

• Which surface deformation results when freeze-thaw cycles and permafrost layer impede drainage on gentle slopes?
• Which ecosystem change results when cave passages collapse, forming dolines?
• Which landform results through freeze-thaw weathering and glacial erosion causing cirque enlargement?
• Which risk strongly increases due to differential weathering when loess deposits overly bedrock?
