Which outcome contributes to sandbar formation when increased wave energy approaches a coastline?

💡 Explanation

Reduction in transport capacity causes deposition forming sandbars via sediment settling; this is driven by wave energy decline or barrier influence; rather than exporting sediment seaward. Longshore currents allow net deposition alongside coasts, because transport capabilities drop in lower energy.
