Which consequence results when rising sea levels accelerate?

💡 Explanation

Barrier island migration accelerates with sea level rise because wave-driven longshore transport pushes sediment landward via overwash. Therefore, islands 'roll over' rather than simply submerging; other options depend on more stable conditions.
