Which outcome occurs when persistent unidirectional winds cause significant changes in beach angle relative to headlands?

💡 Explanation

Increased longshore drift occurs because angled winds induce a nearshore current that transports sediment along the coast, leading to beach re-orientation. This process accelerates sediment removal therefore transport increases rather than causing equilibrium or reduction in energy.
