Which primary erosional outcome occurs when wave refraction concentrates energy?

💡 Explanation

Wave refraction focuses energy on stack bases which causes differential erosion. Undercutting thus worsens because the concentrated wave action accelerates the weathering and removal of weaker rock material, therefore collapse is more likely, rather than more diffuse changes.
