← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when storm surge enhances longshore drift?
A)Increased sediment deposition seaward✓
B)Stabilized dune system equilibrium
C)Reduced barrier island migration
D)Enhanced fluvial sediment transport
💡 Explanation
Increased hydraulic pressure during storm surge leads to enhanced longshore drift because sediment transport capacity escalates with higher wave energy due to increased shear stress at the seabed; therefore, increased sediment deposition seaward from submerged shoals results, rather than stabilization.
