← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when prevailing winds drive longshore currents?
A)Erosion of headlands to form stacks✓
B)Decreased nutrient stratification in estuaries
C)Increased turbidity from glacial meltwater
D)Formation of submarine canyons intensify
💡 Explanation
Erosion transforms headlands into sea stacks because wave refraction concentrates energy on the headland, accelerating the process of differential erosion; therefore headlands erode to sea stacks, rather than sediment accretion or altered water temperatures.
