← GeographyWhich outcome frequently occurs due to longshore drift approaching jetties?
A)Sediment deposition on jetty's updrift side✓
B)Enhanced coastal dune stabilization inland
C)Increased barrier island formation offshore
D)Accelerated chemical rock weathering processes
💡 Explanation
Sediment accumulates on the updrift side because longshore drift carries littoral sediments toward the jetty, blocking the sediment transport via sediment supply interruption; therefore deposition increases updrift rather than stabilization because wave reformation happens differently near structures.
