← GeographyWhich outcome is driven by salt weathering within coastal sea stacks that are located in a maritime region?
A)Formation of tafoni-like features✓
B)Enhanced dune stabilization by vegetation
C)Increased carbon sequestration activities
D)Accelerated glacial ice accumulation
💡 Explanation
The formation of tafoni-like features on sea stacks occurs because salt crystallization exerts pressure within the rock pores causing granular disintegration through haloclasty; therefore, tafoni form, rather than dune stabilization, because there are no mechanisms for seed/sand entrapment.
