Which outcome occurs when sandstone cliffs experience intensified wave action?

💡 Explanation

Differential erosion causes sea cave formation because weaker rock strata erode faster than more resistant layers, therefore caves form where wave energy concentrates along zones of structural weakness, rather than other outcomes such as uniform erosion.

• Which outcome occurs when wave energy is focused by headland refraction?
• Which consequence results when increased acidic rainfall accelerates weathering processes in temperate forests?
• Which mechanism accelerates delta subsidence when groundwater extraction occurs in an alluvial plain?
• Which outcome is amplified when wave diffraction focuses energy around coastal headlands with sea stacks?
• Which outcome occurs in coastal ecosystems when persistent offshore winds drive significant upwelling events?
• Which outcome commonly arises when human infrastructure disrupts longshore sediment transport?
