Which outcome occurs when localized tectonic uplift disrupts prevailing coastal current patterns?

A)Increased headland erosion rate
B)Decreased river delta sedimentation
C)Enhanced offshore bar formation
D)Accelerated deep ocean trench subduction

💡 Explanation

Increased headland erosion occurs due to the altered wave refraction patterns; shoreline geometry focuses wave energy on headlands, therefore headland erosion intensifies because of increased sediment transport away from the disrupted currents, rather than uniform impact.
