Which morphological outcome primarily occurs due to coastal armoring?

💡 Explanation

Downdrift erosion increases with coastal armoring because wave energy, unable to erode the protected area, is focused on adjacent unprotected areas causing scour; therefore erosion increases, rather than dissipate, and sediment transport bypasses the armored section.
