← GeographyWhich condition accelerates sea stack formation following tectonic uplift?
A)Increased tidal range✓
B)Reduced sediment supply
C)Enhanced longshore drift
D)Stabilized vegetation cover
💡 Explanation
Increased tidal range accelerates undercutting at the base via hydraulic action from waves; this mechanical weathering weakens the structure, therefore increases erosion rather than stabilization; reduced sediment or vegetation would lessen stack alteration, though that rate hinges upon tidal influence.
