← GeographyWhich mechanism causes preferential deposition on the leeward side?
A)Turbulent flow dissipation✓
B)Coriolis force deflection
C)Thermohaline circulation reversal
D)Sediment saltation increase
💡 Explanation
Behind a sea stack, turbulent flow dissipation reduces water velocity locally causing particle settling, therefore deposition occurs at the leeward side; rather than enhanced sediment transport found in other areas due to unobstructed flow and constant erosion.
