← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when increased sediment transport rates overwhelm stabilization efforts?
A)Increased longshore drift channel blockage✓
B)Enhanced isostatic rebound acceleration
C)Strengthened Coriolis force intensification
D)Accelerated geothermal gradient reduction
💡 Explanation
A build up happens because longshore drift delivers sediment faster than it can be cleared by natural or man-made infrastructure stabilization; therefore channel blockage rather than rebound occurs, due to sediment shifts rather than mantle dynamics.
