Which outcome occurs when localized tectonic uplift disrupts prevailing coastal current patterns?

💡 Explanation

Increased headland erosion occurs due to the altered wave refraction patterns; shoreline geometry focuses wave energy on headlands, therefore headland erosion intensifies because of increased sediment transport away from the disrupted currents, rather than uniform impact.
