← GeographyWhich feature is created as islands erode due to wave refraction?
A)Tombolo formation behind wave shadow✓
B)Spit migration amplifies tidal currents
C)Estuary formation from sediment loading
D)Atoll development on submerged volcanoes
💡 Explanation
Tombolos form from wave refraction around an island because wave energy focuses behind the island, causing sediment deposition rather than erosion. Therefore, a tombolo connects the eroded island to the mainland rather than forming via other sediment transport processes.
