Which consequence results when hydraulic action exceeds consolidation?

💡 Explanation

Increased hydraulic action on barrier islands causes overwash because the destructive force exceeds the islands' sediment cohesion; therefore, vulnerability increases rather than leading to stabilization typical with accretion alone.
