Which consequence results when intense wave action erodes the base of a coastal headland exhibiting differential weathering?

💡 Explanation

Higher wave energy impacting weakened rock increases sea stack formation because differential wave erosion leads to undercutting and eventual collapse, therefore resulting in stacks rather than land bridges because the headland composition yields to hydraulic action.
