Which outcome is accelerated when increased wave energy weakens sedimentary rock?

💡 Explanation

More wave energy causes accelerated hydraulic action, where wave impact compresses air in rock fissures, because the expansion fractures the rock, leading to detached isolated columns; therefore sea stacks increase, rather than increased stability or reduced sediment movement/deposition.
