← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates sea stack degradation when wave refraction concentrates energy?
A)Increased hydraulic disaggregation✓
B)Enhanced aeolian deposition
C)Lowered chemical weathering rate
D)Reduced isostatic rebound
💡 Explanation
Increased fracturing along stack faults triggers hydraulic disaggregation, because wave energy focusing intensifies water pressure within the cracks. Therefore, fragmentation rate rises rather than deposition increases, which is characteristic of wind action.
