Which one of the following is an example of an isostatic movement?
(A) Motion of tsunami waves
(B) Arching of strata at the center of a dome
(C) Numerous aftershocks associated with deep-focus earthquakes
(D) Uplift of areas recently covered by thick, continental ice sheets
(E) Stream downcutting following a drop in sea level

D.Uplift of areas recently covered by thick, continental ice sheets

Explanation:

Isostatic moement or uplift is a process by which land rises out of the sea or earth due tectonic activities. Great weight is removed when recent continental ice sheets are removed from the land by rising land beneath. The ice is subsequentlt forced to melt.

This is an example of isostatic movement.
