← GeographyWhich coastal change occurs with reduced sediment deposition?
A)Increased longshore drift erosion rates✓
B)Barrier island vegetation stabilization
C)Decreased submarine canyon sediment flows
D)Expansion in atoll reef platforms
💡 Explanation
Increased erosion along a coastline occurs with reduced sediment deposition, because the bypassing mechanism reduces protective sediment buffer; therefore, longshore drift increases erosion, rather than stabilizing vegetation; submarine canyons and atolls are less relevant here.
