Which risk increases when seasonal winds reverse direction?

💡 Explanation

Increased coastal erosion rates surge along exposed areas because the wave energy from storms is redirected and increased by altered circulation patterns, which concentrates wave action, therefore, causing more land loss, rather than the constant erosion rates due to predictable wind and wave directionality.
