← GeographyWhich long-term consequence results when headland erosion strengthens?
A)Increased sediment deposition in bays✓
B)Development of extensive offshore reefs
C)Expanded coastal mangrove forest growth
D)Reduced frequency of storm surges
💡 Explanation
Headland erosion provides increased sediment supply, driving longshore transport and deposition, creating features like spits and baymouth bars due to sediment build up via longshore drift because of wave refraction; therefore bays fill, rather than experiencing reef formation. Reef systems require specific stable conditions.
