Which outcome develops when increased wave refraction focuses on islands?

💡 Explanation

Tombolos form when wave refraction concentrates energy on the island's leeward side, causing sediment deposition due to reduced wave velocities where the waves converge; therefore a tombolo develops, rather than uniform sediment distribution around the island.
