← GeographyUpon sea stack collapse, which factor most retards longshore sediment redistribution?
A)High sediment cohesion✓
B)Prevailing offshore winds
C)Decreased wave energy
D)Increased tidal prism volume
💡 Explanation
High sediment cohesion inhibits redistribution because internal friction resists dispersal by waves and currents, rather than wind or waves slowing erosion. Strong cohesion maintains stack-derived sediment close to the source, therefore preserving localized deposits rather than causing widespread distribution.
