← GeographyWhich process influences accelerated sea stack degradation from joints?
A)Differential weathering along fracture planes✓
B)Haloclasty from saltwater spray
C)Biotic disruption from invasive species
D)Isostatic rebound raising altitude
💡 Explanation
Differential weathering erodes stacks because existing joints, created through tectonic stress, weaken specific zones faster, therefore cracks widen and lead to collapse rather than uniform erosion; haloclasty acts more broadly.
