Which depositional outcome results from disrupted longshore drift?

💡 Explanation

Tombolo formation occurs because a breakwater disrupts longshore transport, reducing sediment supply on the downdrift side, allowing material to accumulate in the breakwater's wave shadow rather than continue along the coast.
