← GeographyWhich risk is increased for low-lying islands during glacial isostatic rebound?
A)Increased wave-induced coastal erosion✓
B)Decreased freshwater lens capacity
C)Amplified seismic activity onshore
D)Reduced nearshore sediment deposition
💡 Explanation
Increased wave-induced erosion results because the isostatic rebound causes a relative decrease in sea level, exposing shorelines to more wave action; this amplifies erosive power rather than buffering it with previous water cover, therefore increasing erosion.
