← GeographyWhich risk increases following rapid glacial isostatic rebound?
A)Increased frequency of shallow earthquakes✓
B)Decreased seismic wave propagation velocity
C)Enhanced mantle convection cell formation
D)Widespread alkaline spring occurrence
💡 Explanation
The risk of shallow earthquakes rises because isostatic rebound causes crustal rocks to deform elastically, then rupture via Elastic Rebound, generating seismic events; therefore A, rather than B/C/D, which is related to inherent geologic attributes.
