← GeographyWhat outcome encourages overwash fan expansion on barrier islands?
A)Decreased sediment deposition updrift
B)Increased eustatic sea level rise✓
C)Shoreward sand fence construction
D)Enhanced vegetation stabilization efforts
💡 Explanation
Sea level rise increases rates of inundation because landward barrier migration occurs through overwash. Increased inundation amplifies the Sediment Transport, therefore enlarging overwash fans, rather than reduced deposition or enhanced stablization which limits deposition.
