← GeographyWhich outcome is amplified when wave refraction focuses energy to pre-existing stacks?
A)Accelerated basal erosion forming notches✓
B)Increased sediment deposition offshore bars creation
C)Stabilized stack structures resisting failure
D)Reduced localized turbulence minimizing cavitation
💡 Explanation
As focused wave energy impacts the base of sea stacks it causes concentrated hydraulic action and abrasion, therefore, basal erosion exponentially increases and leads to notch formation because these stacks receive higher direct energy rather than diffused along coasts.
