Which outcome occurs when storm surge amplifies erosion exponentially?

💡 Explanation

Increased shear stress causes barrier island breaching, because heightened hydraulic action weakens land structures; therefore, islands erode during storms, rather than normal conditions. The heightened water flow cuts through weaker points.
