← GeographyWhich outcome results when differential erosion impacts stacks?
A)Arch collapse to form stumps✓
B)Increased isostatic rebound rate
C)Intensified thermohaline circulation strength
D)Enhanced abiogenic petroleum formation
💡 Explanation
Erosion attacks weaker rock layers faster, because abrasion physically removes the material via hydraulic action at the base; therefore arches are weakened before complete column separation, collapsing into stumps, rather than altering rebound rates or deep earth processes.
