Which outcome is amplified when wave diffraction focuses energy around coastal headlands with sea stacks?

💡 Explanation

Concentrated wave energy due to wave diffraction around headlands will increase the Hydraulic action on the stacks; because wave energy is focused at the base therefore accelerated erosion worsens the stack. It's Hydraulic action rather than deposition, reduced currents, or modified ranges.
