← GeographyWhich ecosystem change occurs due to sediment-driven inhibition of coastal water flow?
A)Mangrove forest coastline progradation✓
B)Increased marine snow sedimentation rates
C)Accelerated thermal vent energy output
D)Decreased coastal seismic fault stability
💡 Explanation
Longshore drift deposits sediment creating new landforms. This causes coastline progradation because sediment accumulation leads to expansion of mangrove forests into newly formed intertidal zone, rather than seismic events or altering thermal vents.
