Which consequence results when overwash deposition exceeds barrier island vegetation stabilization?

💡 Explanation

Landward barrier island migration occurs because increased overwash allows sediment to breach the island at a rate faster than plant bioherms can offer stability, because of sediment transport. Therefore, the island moves rather than remaining in situ or eroding evenly, and creates new environments.
