← GeographyWhich consequence results when wave refraction around a headland ceases due to excessive deposition?
A)Increased tidal amplification in bays
B)Enhanced sediment supply near shore
C)Formation of a tombolo feature
D)Accelerated sea stack weathering✓
💡 Explanation
Accelerated sea stack weathering results because wave refraction no longer shelters the stacks; the mechanism of wave energy concentration shifts offshore, therefore stack erosion increases rather than sediment accumulation at the shore or tidal change enhancement.
