Which outcome is accelerated when rising ocean acidity affects nearshore sea stack formations composed of calcium carbonate?

💡 Explanation

Increased wave-base erosion of sea stacks occurs because ocean acidification increases chemical weathering rate; this dissolution via carbonic acid weakens structure. Therefore, rocks succumb quicker to mechanical wave action, rather than the island accreting sediments.
