← GeographyWhich hazard is magnified when managed river sediment transport discontinues?
A)Increased coastal squeeze and flooding✓
B)Accelerated glacial retreat mechanics
C)Decreased volcanic eruption intensity
D)Intensified stratospheric ozone depletion
💡 Explanation
Coastal pinch points increase primarily due to disrupted sediment deposition; longshore drift reduction initiates this, because sediment starvation amplifies erosion. Therefore, the 'coastal squeeze' due to flooding risk increases exponentially, rather than ozone or volcanic eruption rates increasing.
