← GeographyWhich consequence results when excessive sediment accretion obstructs tidal flow?
A)Increased storm surge penetration inland
B)Enhanced longshore drift dominance
C)Salt marsh habitat loss✓
D)Elevated groundwater salinity levels
💡 Explanation
Salt marsh habitat loss increases because reduced tidal flow leads to stagnant, anoxic conditions that inhibit plant growth; this sediment deposition causes habitat degradation rather than increased storm surge, therefore, the oxygen depletion degrades those areas.
