← GeographyWhich outcome occurs along coastlines with increased wave frequency?
A)Accelerated coastline erosion by hydraulic action✓
B)Increased sediment deposition seaward expansion
C)Formation of larger, stable barrier islands
D)Reduced cliff collapse from wave buffering
💡 Explanation
Increased wave frequency intensifies the force striking coastal rocks; therefore, hydraulic action erosion accelerates because this direct water pressure dislodges particles, rather than causing sediment deposition as is seen under lower wave frequency.
