Which outcome occurs when prevailing winds drive longshore drift along a coastline with varied resistance?

💡 Explanation

Headlands and bays form because differential erosion due to the varying resistance of the coastal rock leads to uneven rates of erosion along the coastline. Longshore drift transports sediment; therefore, headlands form from resistant rock, rather than isostatic rebound.
