← GeographyWhich risk develops as rivers erode coastal terraces?
A)Increased tectonic plate subduction
B)Enhanced coastal cliff destabilization✓
C)Decreased albedo surface reflection
D)Amplified thermohaline buoyancy forcing
💡 Explanation
Downcutting of rivers near coasts increases the risk of coastal cliff destabilization by Lateral erosion; because the eroded base of cliffs loses support, therefore collapse risk increases, rather than tectonic changes or radiation reflection processes.
