← GeographyWhich outcome is expedited when barrier island vegetation removal occurs?
A)Increased overwash sediment transport✓
B)Decreased tidal prism equilibrium
C)Stabilized estuarine salinity stratification
D)Reduced aeolian dune formation rates
💡 Explanation
Increased overwash sediment transport happens because the removal of vegetation reduces surface roughness and binding, facilitating greater sediment transport during storm surges due to decreased friction; therefore, overwash increases rather than dune formation, tidal equilibrium, or salinity changes.
