Which process causes increased wave energy behind a barrier island during rising sea level?

💡 Explanation

Landward barrier island migration increases wave energy behind it because the shallow lagoon environment becomes exposed to the open ocean; the rollover mechanism means rising sea levels cause this shift rather than sediment deposition directly influencing wave dynamics.
