Which outcome often results when decreased wave energy surrounds isolated sea stacks?

💡 Explanation

Tombolo formation results from decreased wave energy. Reduced wave action behind the stack causes sediment deposition, and sediment accumulates because wave diffraction creates a sheltered zone, therefore tombolos form rather than direct erosion in open water conditions.
