← GeographyWhich depositional outcome results from disrupted longshore drift?
A)Tombolo formation beyond a breakwater✓
B)Increased turbidity in deep water
C)Larger offshore submarine canyons
D)Rapid glacial ice sheet disintegration
💡 Explanation
Tombolo formation occurs because a breakwater disrupts longshore transport, reducing sediment supply on the downdrift side, allowing material to accumulate in the breakwater's wave shadow rather than continue along the coast.
