Which consequence results when coastal vegetation removal precedes storm surge?

A)Increased inland sediment deposition
B)Reduced longshore current velocity
C)Stabilized dune migration patterns
D)Decreased saline intrusion extent

💡 Explanation

Increased inland sediment deposition occurs because vegetation normally stabilizes sediment; without its root systems, storm surge readily transports soil via hydraulic sorting. Increased deposition results therefore, rather than dune stabilization, which occurs when vegetation is present.
