← GeographyWhich landform results when differential erosion breaches arches in coastal headlands?
A)Formation of isolated sea stacks✓
B)Development of a tombolo feature
C)Creation of expansive mudflats
D)Growth of a substantial sandspit
💡 Explanation
Sea stacks emerge because differential erosion selectively removes weaker rock, creating arches which then collapse; therefore, isolated stacks remain, rather than a tombolo which involves sediment deposition or sandspits formed by longshore drift.
