← GeographyAlong exposed sandstone coastlines, which outcome typically results with differential erosion?
A)Formation of characteristic coastal sea stacks✓
B)Increased stability of existing sandy beaches
C)Uniform subsidence along the sediment layers
D)Decreased dissolution by saline intrusion
💡 Explanation
The less resistant sections erode faster, creating features like arches that collapse into stacks; this is guided by differential weathering, because variable lithology creates irregularities during erosion, therefore distinct landforms arise rather than even settling.
