Which outcome is accelerated when wave crest orthogonality diminishes along coastlines with sea stacks?

💡 Explanation

Shoreline straightening accelerates because reduced wave crest orthogonality causes spatially differential wave energy dissipation. Wave energy focuses on indented sections rather than stacks; therefore headland erosion rises and embayments fill–rather than uniform erosion, leading to gradual straightening.
