Which outcome occurs when wave energy exceeds resilience?

A)Increased rates of coastline erosion
B)Accelerated coral reef bleaching
C)Increased density of mangrove forests
D)Higher rates of oceanic carbon capture

💡 Explanation

Increased rates Coastline erosion results when exceeding coastline resilience induces intensified wave action, accelerating sediment removal via hydraulic action and abrasion of coastal landforms; therefore, the coastline retreats seaward rather than accreting, because sediment erodes rather than accumulates.
