Which outcome occurs when storm surge overtops barrier islands?

💡 Explanation

Overwash transports sediment landward during storm surge via **sediment transport**, inundating lagoons and increasing salinity while causing backshore erosion because sediment distribution onshore increases, thereby altering the island profile, rather than stable protection or sediment deposition only.
