Which consequence results when wave angle decreases along islands?

💡 Explanation

Sediment deposition increases because decreasing wave angle reduces the longshore current's energy, causing sediment to fall out of suspension forming features rather than eroding; therefore deposition increases, rather than accelerating erosion or affecting salinity and upwelling.
