← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when rising sea temperature reduces landmass?
A)Island submergence accelerates visibly rapidly✓
B)Increased coral cover prevents erosion completely
C)Tectonic lift balances glacial melt
D)Isostatic rebound matches sea level rise
💡 Explanation
Island submergence accelerates due to thermal expansion of seawater and loss of land ice via meltwater, enacting a positive feedback loop, because decreased albedo increases warming via **radiative forcing**, therefore island loss accelerates visibly rather than being balanced other geological impacts.
