Which outcome results when thermal expansion contrasts enhance weathering?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated sea cliff retreat occurs because differential thermal expansion causes increased fracturing via insolation weathering, a form of physical erosion; therefore sea cliffs destabilize and recede quicker, rather than forming sediment deposits such as barrier islands.
