← GeographyWhich outcome rapidly develops due to intensified wave refraction?
A)Sea arch collapse and stack formation✓
B)Increased longshore sediment transport rate
C)Development of a broad, sandy beach
D)Uplift of coastal plains and terraces
💡 Explanation
Intensified wave refraction focuses wave energy unequally eroding the base of headlands via hydraulic action, therefore sea arches weaken leading to collapse and stack formation, rather than sediment deposition uniformly along the shore.
