← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when rising ocean temperatures weaken coral barriers?
A)Accelerated coastal erosion significantly increases✓
B)Submarine canyon formation occurs rapidly
C)Increased volcanic activity near trenches
D)Glacial isostatic rebound begins suddenly
💡 Explanation
Increased coastal erosion occurs because the `loss of structural support` accelerates wave action, therefore less wave energy attenuates along the coastline, rather than canyons forming far offshore under different geological constraints independent of temperature.
