Which morphological outcome primarily occurs due to coastal armoring?

💡 Explanation

Downdrift erosion increases with coastal armoring because wave energy, unable to erode the protected area, is focused on adjacent unprotected areas causing scour; therefore erosion increases, rather than dissipate, and sediment transport bypasses the armored section.

• Which outcome results from thermokarst development in tundra?
• Which phenomenon primarily causes uplift along a reverse fault zone?
• Which consequence results when storms breach a barrier island?
• Which land shift results when sediment flux overwhelms fluvial avulsion?
