← GeographyWhich morphological change results when increased storm surge overwhelms a coastal barrier island's sediment budget?
A)Inlet formation through island breaching✓
B)Increased rates of mineral weathering
C)Enhanced mangrove forest propagation
D)Glacial isostatic rebound acceleration
💡 Explanation
Inlet formation results from breaching because storm surge overwhelms foredune ridges; therefore, new channels form increasing erosion rates, rather than mineral weathering. Sediment bypass creates a new dynamic equilibrium.
