← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when wave-cut platform formation stalls approaching sea stacks?
A)Increased wave energy dissipation offshore✓
B)Localized stack base erosion increase
C)Cuspate foreland deposition amplification
D)Tombolo sediment deposition terminates
💡 Explanation
Increased wave energy dissipation offshore occurs because wave-cut platform advancement slows via increased refraction and diffraction around the stacks; therefore reducing wave energy focused to erode base regions rather than increased concentrated wave energy, which would further erode the base.
