Which process determines the spacing between newly formed sea stacks after coastal erosion events?

💡 Explanation

Differential weathering determines stack spacing because pre-existing joints or fractures weaken rock unevenly; therefore sections erode faster, creating distinct stacks, rather than uniform retreat due to wave action alone.

• Which morphologic consequence arises from wave refraction focusing energy?
• Which geological outcome is accelerated when coastal aquifers deplete due to extensive groundwater extraction?
• Which volcanic hazard leads to increased rates of glacial ice melt during a subglacial eruption?
• Which feedback consequence accelerates stalactite growth in temperate climates?
• Which delta formation results from increased sediment deposition in subglacial lakes?
• Which mechanism causes uplift when strike-slip fault experiences restraining bend?
