Which process causes the formation of freshwater lakes in regions undergoing isostatic rebound following deglaciation?

💡 Explanation

Following deglaciation, isostatic rebound occurs as the landmass slowly rises due to the reduced weight of ice, resulting in uplift creating depressions that collect meltwater and precipitation. Therefore, uplift creating depressions results in freshwater lakes, rather than volcanic/sedimentary processes or evaporative enrichment, each which requires different geomorphological conditions.
