← GeographyWhich landscape change results from compromised longshore drift mechanics?
A)Increased mainland beach erosion✓
B)Stabilization of existing estuaries
C)Accelerated coral reef expansion
D)Enhanced offshore sediment deposition
💡 Explanation
Increased beach erosion occurs because sediment supply is reduced by interrupted longshore drift, impacting sediment budget; therefore, landward erosion increases rather than estuary stabilization which depends on consistent sediment dynamics, or offshore deposition alone.
