← GeographyWhich risk increases when anoxic conditions spread to fjord sediments?
A)Release of stored greenhouse gasses✓
B)Decreased seismic fault lubrication
C)Accelerated glacial isostatic rebound
D)Increased coastal benthic biodiversity
💡 Explanation
Methane gas accumulates in the fjord sediments because anaerobic decomposition occurs under anoxic conditions; therefore, expanding anoxia increases methane release rather than any change to fault lubrication and tectonic uplift, which are unrelated.
