Which outcome occurs when excessive coastal development interrupts longshore drift's sediment transport?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion occurs because interruption of longshore drift causes sediment starvation downdrift due to sediment transport blocking, therefore erosion increases rather than accretion because sediment supply diminishes.

• Which coastal change occurs with reduced sediment deposition?
• Near coastal cliffs, which outcome occurs when wave height increases significantly, exceeding the rock's cohesive limit?
• Which mechanism primarily drives speleogenesis at phreatic cave levels?
• Which process causes increased soil horizon mixing during flood events?
• Which mechanism causes deep-water oxygen depletion in poorly mixed fjords with high organic matter input?
• Which outcome occurs when pore pressure rises rapidly during seismic shaking?
