Which outcome occurs along a coastline, if wave refraction diminishes sufficiently?

💡 Explanation

If wave energy decreases at headlands, wave refraction slows, reducing erosion that forms stacks; therefore sea stack detachment slows because hydraulic action causing fracturing becomes less frequent, rather than increased sediment transport driven parallel to the coast.
