← GeographyWhich risk markedly increases along barrier islands trending parallel if rising sea temperatures reduce ice sheet albedo?
A)Saline intrusion into coastal aquifers✓
B)Increased thermohaline circulation strength
C)Enhanced coastal fog formation
D)Higher seasonal phytoplankton concentration
💡 Explanation
Increased meltwater flux accelerates sea-level rise via glacial isostatic adjustment because the reduced albedo drives positive feedback. Saline intrusion is very likely therefore, rather than other effects linked weakly or inversely to freshwater balance adjustments.
