← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when hydraulic action weakens sea stacks?
A)Formation of notched sea caves✓
B)Increased rates of isostatic rebound
C)Reduced sediment cell formation
D)Decreased thermohaline circulation intensity
💡 Explanation
Notched sea caves form because hydraulic action, driven by wave energy, erodes the base of the stacks by the force of water. Therefore, undercutting leads to cave formation rather than other geological or ocean dynamics under different force exposures.
