← GeographyWhich outcome results when wave refraction concentrates near a headland?
A)Accelerated marine terrace formation
B)Increased sea stack development✓
C)Enhanced longshore sediment transport
D)Reduced subsea landslide potential
💡 Explanation
Increased sea stack formation arises because wave refraction focuses wave energy, intensifying erosion around headlands; therefore, stacks are sculpted from persistent erosion rather than terrace uplift; longshore drift, or subsea stability.
