← GeographyWhich outcome results when rising sea temperature increases?
A)Barrier island system collapse✓
B)Glacial isostatic rebound decrease
C)Upwelling nutrient availability increases
D)Deep ocean oxygen concentration increases
💡 Explanation
Increased water temperature causes more intense storms; therefore, there's more erosion and overwash, causing island drowning because sediment transport overwhelm deposition rather than equilibrium processes maintaining the structure.
