Which outcome results when impermeable artificial groynes interrupt longshore drift?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion downdrift follows groyne construction because sediment supply is blocked; the groyne causes sediment accumulation updrift due to sediment accretion, therefore erosion increases down-drift, rather than a reverse pattern, or uniform distribution.
