← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates sea stack erosion when wave energy increases?
A)Increased hydraulic fracturing✓
B)Reduced sediment deposition
C)Elevated chemical weathering
D)Decreased wave diffraction
💡 Explanation
Increased wave energy causes accelerated hydraulic fracturing because water is forced into rock fissures, weakening internal structure; therefore, stack collapse progresses faster, rather than enhanced deposition or altered weathering that could occur independently.
