← GeographyWhich consequence results when differential consolidation induces coastline retreat?
A)Increased localized sediment deposition
B)Offshore bar formation accelerates
C)Concentrated wave energy amplifies erosion✓
D)Saltwater intrusion risk declines
💡 Explanation
Concentrated wave energy accelerates “erosion” because of seafloor topology differences that bends wave fronts, therefore increased erosion occurs rather than deposition, because constant direct wave attack wears it down more.
