← GeographyWhich outcome is accelerated when island vegetation removal occurs?
A)Increased longshore sediment transport✓
B)Decreased groundwater lens recharge
C)Uplift from isostatic rebound
D)Enhanced volcanic eruption frequency
💡 Explanation
Increased longshore transport occurs with vegetation removal because plant roots create soil cohesion, thereby resisting erosion; the longshore drift sediment budget increases because of the diminished soil cohesion therefore wave action dominates rather than balanced ecological stability.
