Which consequence occurs after long-term barrier island migration?

💡 Explanation

As drift patterns shift barrier islands landward, freshwater input decreases because `sediment starvation` reduces exchange with the mainland. This leads to higher salinity, therefore increased lagoon salinity is observed, rather than ocean current changes.

• Which outcome results when strike-slip fault locking accumulates energy?
• Which risk increases for infrastructure built on an alluvial fan in a tectonically active region experiencing heavy seasonal rainfall?
• Which risk increases during volatile lava dome formation?
• Which mechanism causes the latitudinal extent of Hadley cells to expand poleward during summer months?
• Which geological phenomenon results from the Coriolis effect influencing ocean currents?
