← GeographyWhich consequence results when preferential erosion of weaker rock layers occurs in a coastal cliff?
A)Increased sea stack formation✓
B)Accelerated estuary sedimentation
C)Lithospheric plate subduction rate slowdown
D)Decreased ocean surface albedo
💡 Explanation
Increased sea stack formation results because differential weathering initiates the undercutting and collapse via basal sapping causing erosion of the cliff face; therefore sea stacks form from pillars rather than increased estuary sediments because this involves river deposition.
