Which process inhibits stack formation when differential erosion slows?

💡 Explanation

Wave refraction erosional focusing encourages stack formation initially; because wave energy is no longer targeted once base gradients diminish, the **reduced wave refraction** effect decreases local erosion supporting stack longevity; therefore inhibits stack formation, rather than maintaining it like the others.
