← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates coastal erosion when armoring fails?
A)Increased wave reflection energy✓
B)Reduced sediment supply onshore
C)Higher groundwater salinization rates
D)Decreased sea surface temperatures
💡 Explanation
Increased wave force from failing protection causes intensified erosion rates because the structure inadequately dissipates wave energy, meaning higher forces hit adjacent unprotected areas due to wave reflection enhancement, therefore A and rather than reduction of sediment/sea surface temperature.
