Which long-term effect follows reduced wave refraction near stack formations?

💡 Explanation

Reduced refraction diminishes wave energy reaching the shore, changing sediment transport via longshore drift, because sediment delivery shifts in response to energy gradients; therefore, a reduction of sediment deposition will occur downdrift, along the coast, rather than equilibrium sediment transport.
