Which outcome occurs when wave-cut platforms erode rapidly?

💡 Explanation

Barrier island formation increases with platform erosion because sediment supply exceeds removal via the **sediment budget**. Wave action and longshore currents redistribute material. Therefore, barrier islands form, rather than cliffs retreating due to stable erosion rates.
