Along erosive coastlines, which outcome results from differential erosion?

💡 Explanation

Differential erosion leaves more resistant rock formations behind as surrounding weaker materials erode, creating sea stacks; because rock resistance varies, stack formations result rather than uniform erosion, therefore the stacks resist wave action much longer.
