Which outcome occurs when a large island shields a smaller island from prevailing winds across open ocean?

💡 Explanation

A larger island causes wave energy dissipation because wave refraction bends waves around the larger island, reducing impact on the smaller island's leeward side; therefore less erosion occurs, rather than increased erosion or tidal effects.
