← GeographyWhich process predominantly shapes low-lying barrier islands under increasing storm frequency?
A)Overwash redistributes landward sediments✓
B)Isostatic rebound uplifts island core
C)Subsidence amplifies sediment deposition
D)Weathering enhances reef cementation
💡 Explanation
Accelerated overwash occurs because storms breach vulnerable points, initiating sediment transport landward; this is landward migration rather than deposition, therefore, increasing island submergence risk relative to options B, C, and D.
