← GeographyWhich feature results when wave refraction focuses hydrodynamic energy?
A)Headland erodes forming sea stacks✓
B)Estuaries deposit fertile silt deltas
C)Barrier islands form stable lagoons
D)Abyssal plains accumulate manganese nodules
💡 Explanation
Wave refraction concentrates energy on headlands; differential erosion scours weak points. This undermines the land, because positive feedback causes land scouring; therefore remnant headlands erode and creates sea stacks, rather than depositional features like deltas.
