Which consequence results when intense wave action erodes the base of a coastal headland exhibiting differential weathering?

A)Increased sea stack formation rates
B)Accelerated formation of tombolos inland
C)Stabilization of existing barrier islands
D)Reduced offshore bar sediment accretion

💡 Explanation

Higher wave energy impacting weakened rock increases sea stack formation because differential wave erosion leads to undercutting and eventual collapse, therefore resulting in stacks rather than land bridges because the headland composition yields to hydraulic action.
