← GeographyWhich process modifies coastline shape after barrier island overwash?
A)Inlet stabilization by tidal prism✓
B)Foredune development by aeolian transport
C)Vegetation anchoring limiting dune migration
D)Reduced longshore transport sediment supply
💡 Explanation
Back-barrier sediment transport influences adjacent inlet dynamics of the tidal prism type; because inlet size adjusts until tidal flow efficiently transports sediment, therefore inlet stabilization maintains new shoreline alignment, rather than unmodified conditions of vegetation anchoring.
