Which outcome results from hydraulic action eroding stacks?

💡 Explanation

Stacks are vulnerable to hydraulic action; water forces fracturing. Weakened supports destabilize the entire column because wave energy concentrates at the base, therefore stack structures degrade, rather than sediment, reefs, or new feature acceleration.
