Which mechanism initiates overwash deposition when a barrier island's dune structure fails during extreme storm surge?

💡 Explanation

Decreased sediment supply contributes to overwash because wave run-up and surge exceed the dune's capacity, leading to sediment transport inland via wave overwash during storms, rather than dune stabilization; therefore overwash deposition occurs.
