Which outcome occurs when wave energy is focused by headland refraction?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion happens because wave refraction concentrates energy on the headland, leading to increased hydraulic action. The force of waves excavates unstable rock material there, rather than depositing sediments or creating tombolos.
