← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates sea stack erosion when differential weathering concentrates stress?
A)Increased wave-cut notch formation✓
B)Stabilization via biological colonization
C)Salt crystal aggregate dissolution
D)Reduced hydraulic head pressure
💡 Explanation
Increased wave-cut notch formation accelerates erosion because undercutting weakens the stack's base, triggering increased mass wasting; therefore, stress concentrations lead to undercutting rather than other stabilizing processes or reduced hydraulic pressures that might slow breakdown.
