← GeographyWhich formation process becomes amplified when wave refraction focuses destructive wave energy eroding stacks?
A)Differential bedrock erosion✓
B)Storm surge amplification
C)Longshore current meandering
D)Halocline thermohaline mixing
💡 Explanation
Differential bedrock erosion accelerates because variations in stack material provide uneven resistance, influencing wave refraction and concentrating erosive forces rather than uniform erosion. Therefore, specific stack erosion hotspots emerge and accelerate, rather than surge impacts.
