← GeographyWhich process dominates the emergence of coastal sea stacks?
A)Differential erosion along varied lithology✓
B)Isostatic rebound after glacial retreat
C)Volcanic activity within nearshore regions
D)Sediment deposition forming wave-cut platforms
💡 Explanation
Differential erosion causes formation of sea stacks where weaker rock erodes faster than resistant rock; this "selective weathering" isolates stronger remnants, rather than rebound, volcanism, or deposition, because these do not preferentially leave behind isolated, resistant formations.
