← GeographyWhich outcome results along coastlines when inlets migrate on barrier islands?
A)Altered sediment deposition patterns shoreward✓
B)Decreased marine organism habitat diversity
C)Enhanced offshore current nutrient upwelling
D)Increased stabilization of dune vegetation
💡 Explanation
Inlet migration causes altered sediment deposition patterns shoreward because the changing pathways modify **longshore drift**. Therefore different depositional environments emerge, rather than consistent nutrient upwelling because that needs other broader circulation contributors.
