← GeographyWhich outcome will accelerate when coastal vegetation fails to maintain cohesiveness during storm surges?
A)Increased shoreline erosion rates✓
B)Increased sediment accretion process
C)Reduced salinity gradient shifts
D)Minimized dune stabilization cycles
💡 Explanation
Increased shoreline erosion occurs because decreased vegetation cohesiveness weakens soil structure, enhancing wave-driven sediment stripping. This is marine erosion, therefore the outcome increases as surge energy bypasses soil stabilization, rather than dune building.
