← GeographyWhich outcome increases following severe storm surge overtopping engineered coastal barriers?
A)Enhanced landward salt marsh erosion✓
B)Decreased local sediment accommodation space
C)Increased regional groundwater table elevation
D)Diminished surface albedo seasonality effect
💡 Explanation
Saltwater intrusion from surge events accelerates inland erosion because vegetation is stressed by increased salinity via the process of salt weathering; therefore, salt marsh erosion increases, rather than groundwater changes, affecting albedo, or local capacity change alone.
