Which process accelerates island erosion when vegetation weakens?

💡 Explanation

Increased wave fetch accelerates erosion because weakened plant root systems reduce soil cohesion making islands vulnerable to wave action; therefore, fetch maximizes physical erosion rather than deposition or weathering effects when roots are unstable.
