Which outcome occurs when a coastal dam obstructs longshore sediment transport?

💡 Explanation

Erosion increases downdrift because sediment replenishment is blocked by the dam’s interruption of longshore drift; therefore, areas further down the coast erode faster, rather than experiencing the other scenarios stemming from different phenomena.
