← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when longshore drift deposits sediment?
A)Spit formation extends the coastline✓
B)River estuaries experience increased salinity
C)Tsunami amplitude intensifies significantly offshore
D)Ocean trenches experience accelerated subduction
💡 Explanation
Spit formation results because longshore drift transports sediment along the coast, depositing it where the shoreline changes direction, leading to accumulation; rather than increased offshore tsunamis or accelerated subduction, these are unrelated to sediment transport processes.
