← GeographyWhich coastal outcome increases without sediment replenishment behind a barrier island?
A)Landward shoreline migration acceleration✓
B)Decreased tidal inlet formation
C)Enhanced back-barrier salt marsh growth
D)Stabilized mainland beach erosion
💡 Explanation
Landward migration acceleration occurs because continued wave action and sea level rise cause overwash process migration across the island, therefore back-barrier sediment deficit results rather than marsh growth which requires stable sediment.
