Which localized outcome accelerates when groundwater extraction weakens coastal sediment structure?

💡 Explanation

Increased groundwater extraction reduces pore pressure; therefore, sediment consolidation lessens because the increased effective stress weakens soil structure, leading to an enhanced rate of coastal erosion rather than stabilization due to sediment transport.
