← GeographyWhich morphologic consequence arises from wave refraction focusing energy?
A)Formation of sea stacks✓
B)Increased beach sand deposition
C)Development of barrier islands
D)Decreased river delta formation
💡 Explanation
Wave refraction focuses energy on headlands, intensifying coastal erosion through hydraulic action; because concentrated wave impact weakens rock structures, collapse into formation of sea stacks occurs rather than the formation of depositional features like barrier islands.
