On 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.
