Which outcome occurs when prevailing winds drive longshore currents?

💡 Explanation

Erosion transforms headlands into sea stacks because wave refraction concentrates energy on the headland, accelerating the process of differential erosion; therefore headlands erode to sea stacks, rather than sediment accretion or altered water temperatures.

• Which outcome increases erosion beneath concentrated heavy infrastructure loads?
• Which growth pattern indicates decreased mineral saturation within dripping cave stalactites?
• Which soil characteristic dominates when chemical weathering is limited?
• Which risk is greatly increased when streamflow in an ephemeral stream bed suddenly transitions from laminar to turbulent due to heavy rainfall?
• Which increased risk occurs when rapid snowmelt saturates soil?
• Which feature develops due to refraction-induced longshore drift?
