← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when differential erosion diminishes a stack's caprock?
A)Increased wave-cut platform accumulation
B)Accelerated subaerial weathering of the stack✓
C)Decreased longshore sediment transport rate
D)Enhanced hydraulic action at the base
💡 Explanation
Accelerated subaerial weathering increases because the undercutting and collapse enhances the stack's surface area exposure post 'slaking'. This is a form of granular disintegration; therefore B, rather than changes to platform, transport, or base erosion.
