Which outcome occurs when wave energy increases at headlands?

💡 Explanation

Focused coastal erosion occurs because wave refraction concentrates energy on headlands leading to increased hydraulic weathering; therefore, headlands erode faster, forming stacks, rather than increasing deposition because energy dissipates quickly at bays.
