← GeographyWhich mechanism creates isolated sea stacks when headlands erode?
A)Differential erosion removes weaker rocks✓
B)Isostatic rebound uplifts coastal land
C)Wave refraction concentrates wave energy
D)Tidal currents redistribute sediment deposits
💡 Explanation
Differential erosion causes weaker rock strata within headlands to erode more rapidly because softer rock is less resistant, therefore sea stacks form as resistant rock remains, rather than uniform erosion leaving a smooth coastline.
