← GeographyOn shorelines with headlands and bays, which outcome occurs due to wave refraction focusing on headlands with weak strata?
A)Increased sea stack formation rate✓
B)Deposition of baymouth barrier islands
C)Accelerated salt marsh development
D)Decreased intensity of longshore drift
💡 Explanation
Increased sea stack formation results because wave refraction concentrates energy on headlands, enhancing coastal erosion; Differential Erosion drives the undercutting leading eventually to stack collapse; therefore sea stacks develop rather than barrier island deposition dependent more on sediment transport.
