Which mechanism accelerates coastal headland erosion where wave energy converges?

💡 Explanation

Coastal headlands erode faster due to wave refraction, concentrating wave energy; because wave crests bend toward the headland, intensifying erosion. Wave refraction redirects this energy flow, rather than uniform distribution; therefore, headlands erode preferentially due to localized higher intensities.
