← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when rising sea temperatures accelerate glacial melting near coastal islands?
A)Increased isostatic rebound rates amplify subsidence
B)Barrier island submergence threatens unique biomes✓
C)Accelerated thermohaline density-driven circulation
D)Enhanced chemical weathering reduces sediment supply
💡 Explanation
Barrier island submergence occurs because rising sea levels and rapid glacial melt floods the islands; this induces enhanced marine transgression, rather than isostatic rebound acceleration. Density-driven circulation and weathering are separate unrelated processes.
