← GeographyWhich outcome predictably occurs when strong prevailing wind redirects longshore drift along a coastline?
A)Increased deposition on drift-aligned features✓
B)Accelerated thermohaline circulation patterns
C)Decreased coastal upwelling intensity
D)Diminished coral reef calcification rates
💡 Explanation
Increased deposition occurs because wind redirection focuses sediment transport via longshore drift onto concentrated areas; this transport is governed by sediment sorting. Constructive interference increases ridge accumulation rather than altering temperatures directly; other processes are not linked.
