← GeographyWhich geological feature results when differential erosion dissects promontories?
A)Formation of isolated sea stacks✓
B)Development of barrier islands
C)Increased longshore sediment transport
D)Enhanced fluvial sediment deposition
💡 Explanation
Isolated sea stacks result from differential wave erosion, where weaker rock layers erode faster, leaving behind resistant columns; therefore, sea stacks form during headland breakdown, rather than barrier islands which forms through sediment deposition.
