Which risk increases when rapid deglaciation occurs near fjords?

💡 Explanation

Rapid deglaciation destabilizes fjord slopes through isostatic changes; therefore, submarine landslide frequency increases because unsupported sediment collapses and the isostatic rebound rates increase sediment instability rather than decreasing it.
