Which outcome increases erosion around groynes because of altered sediment transport?

💡 Explanation

Downdrift erosion increases due to reduction in sediment deposition available after the groyne, a mechanism of sediment starvation, because the longshore drift is interrupted; therefore, erosion increases down-current rather than deposition increasing on both sides.
