← GeographyWhich pattern emerges affecting coastal dune stability if longshore currents shift sediment supply southward?
A)Rapid aeolian sediment bypassing occurs
B)Vegetation thrives favoring foredune accretion
C)Erosion weakens dune anchoring✓
D)Seawater percolation strengthens dune structures
💡 Explanation
An abrupt sediment deficit invokes down-drift dune destabilization because reduced sediment input arrests dune repair by aeolian transport, rather than vegetation thriving, therefore coastal erosion causes structural destabilization where reinforcement is absent.
