Which outcome occurs when wave energy decreases along coastal segments?

💡 Explanation

Waves transport sediments; therefore reduced height allows deposition through longshore drift since coarser sediments drop, building features like spits because higher energy would cause erosion rather than enabling this accumulation.

• Which effect intensifies coastal erosion during an El Niño event on the western coast of South America?
• Which outcome results when soil cohesion decreases in wind-exposed regions due to intense seasonal evapotranspiration?
• Which outcome occurs when ephemeral desert stream discharge ceases during peak evaporation?
• Which weathering outcome accelerated by iron sulfide oxidation?
• Which process limits the height of topographic features along a transform fault boundary?
• Which consequence results when undercutting of coastal sea stacks increases?
