← GeographyWhich process causes sea stack formation near barrier islands?
A)Differential coastal erosion weakens rock✓
B)Tectonic uplift elevates island regions
C)Sediment deposition creates new strata
D)Glacial rebound exposes coastal features
💡 Explanation
Differential coastal erosion acts because of varying rock resistance weakening sections; therefore, wave action then erodes softened areas, creating sea stacks rather than uniform shoreline retreat because harder rock remains.
