← GeographyWhich outcome arises when intense storm wave action targets a coastline featuring differential rock hardness?
A)Formation of headlands and bays✓
B)Increased rates of glacial calving
C)Accelerated chemical weathering of bedrock
D)Stabilization of existing sand dunes
💡 Explanation
Headlands and bays form through differential erosion, because softer rock erodes faster under hydraulic action, therefore forming bays, rather than uniform erosion because rock hardness varies spatially along the coastline.
