Which outcome occurs when longshore transport meets obstructions?

💡 Explanation

Tombolo formation results from wave diffraction and sediment deposition around an obstruction; because longshore drift slows; therefore a sediment bridge forms connecting islands to the mainland, rather than currents increasing or isostatic changes.
