← GeographyWhich outcome results when differential weathering weakens coastal rock formations?
A)Increased sea stack collapse frequency✓
B)Accelerated glacial ice sheet formation
C)Enhanced offshore bar sediment deposition
D)Reduced coastal dune stabilization rates
💡 Explanation
The 'abrasion and hydraulic action' mechanism causes sea stacks to degrade faster because weaker sections erode first, which undermines the stack's structure; therefore, the structures collapse more frequently, rather than causing glacial formation or deposition, which are unrelated.
