← GeographyWhich consequence results when wave diffraction concentrates energy?
A)Accelerated coastal headland erosion occurs✓
B)Increased longshore sediment deposition forms
C)Deep ocean trench formation initiates
D)Glacial isostatic rebound heightens quickly
💡 Explanation
Focusing wave energy via wave diffraction amplifies hydraulic action. Because wave energy is concentrated it erodes headlands faster, rather than dissipating energy over a larger area which creates depositional landforms instead.
