Which outcome accelerates sea stack erosion when wave energy increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased wave energy causes accelerated hydraulic fracturing because water is forced into rock fissures, weakening internal structure; therefore, stack collapse progresses faster, rather than enhanced deposition or altered weathering that could occur independently.
