← GeographyWhich outcome is accelerated when stack height increases?
A)Wave-induced undercutting and structural collapse✓
B)Deposition of marine-derived talus slopes
C)Dissolution of the carbonate cement
D)Colonization by early plant successions
💡 Explanation
Increased stack height projects further into the wave zone causing increased wave-induced undercutting via hydraulic action; because the increased leverage exacerbates erosion potential collapse is more likely. Deposition would decrease erosion, therefore undercutting is more relevant than deposition.
