← GeographyWhich consequence results when tidal flow is constricted?
A)Increased localized sediment erosion occurs✓
B)Decreased delta formation nearshore
C)Reduced marine biodiversity in estuary
D)Enhanced nutrient mixing offshore exists
💡 Explanation
Constricting tidal flow concentrates wave energy. Increased flow causes scour erosion because shear stress rises above the sediment's critical threshold. Therefore, option A is correct, rather than B/C/D occuring due to distributed, rather than concentrated energy.
