← GeographyWhich process leads to landward barrier island migration where sea stacks exist?
A)Seaward progradation dominates sediment accumulation
B)Longshore transport supplies abundant material
C)Overwash erodes the island's seaward side✓
D)Tidal inlets stabilize island position
💡 Explanation
Overwash is responsible because wave action carries sediment landward across the barrier via inundation induced Sediment Transport, therefore the barrier island will migrate landward; rather than accreting seaward due to sediment input from other sources.
