← GeographyWhich coastal change happens when prevailing winds shift?
A)Barrier island migration increases notably✓
B)Submarine canyon formation accelerates rapidly
C)River delta erosion increases inland
D)Glacial isostatic rebound happens slowly
💡 Explanation
Barrier island migration increases because longshore drift becomes re-oriented, thus redistributing sand rapidly rather than maintaining a previous equilibrium. Therefore, island reshaping accelerates rather than other glacial or unrelated effects.
