← GeographyWhich morphology results due to extensive longshore drift?
A)Formation of extensive barrier islands✓
B)Increased subduction at shoreline
C)Development of deep ocean trenches
D)Intensified volcanic activity nearby
💡 Explanation
Barrier islands form because longshore drift transports sediment along the coast; therefore, material accretes into extended landforms. This creates a continuous island rather than causing subduction which occurs at tectonic plate boundaries.
