← GeographyWhich outcome follows reduced wave refraction around stacks?
A)Increased sediment deposition in stack shadow✓
B)Accelerated stack erosion by wave focusing
C)Decreased tidal range near the stacks
D)Uniform sand distribution along shoreline
💡 Explanation
Reduced wave refraction means less wave energy directly behind a stack; Wave Shadowing causes deposition because wave energy deflects around the stack, therefore, sediment accumulates in the sheltered area, rather than eroding it evenly.
