← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when intense tropical storms impact coastlines lacking mature mangrove forests?
A)Increased rate of coastal erosion✓
B)Enhanced longshore current deposition
C)Decreased wave energy refraction
D)Stabilization of sediment profiles
💡 Explanation
Intense tropical storms impacting coastlines without mangroves leads to increased erosion, because root systems are absent therefore hindering wave energy dissipation, rather than promoting deposition due to insufficient stabilization against storm surges, causing intensified scouring and sediment removal.
