Along erosive coastlines, which outcome results from differential erosion?

💡 Explanation

Differential erosion leaves more resistant rock formations behind as surrounding weaker materials erode, creating sea stacks; because rock resistance varies, stack formations result rather than uniform erosion, therefore the stacks resist wave action much longer.

• Which risk increases when seismic waves weaken a large landslide-prone slope immediately after a major earthquake?
• Which coastal outcome sharply increases with glacial isostatic rebound?
• Which mechanism generates explosive volcanism at subduction zones?
• Which thermohaline consequence would increased glacial melt cause?
• Which mechanism explains how mountain ranges enhance precipitation in the windward slopes, creating rain shadow effects?
• Which outcome results when an ocean gyre intensifies?
