← GeographyWhich process primarily causes increased sea stack formation on headlands?
A)Wave refraction concentrates erosive forces✓
B)Increased bioturbation weakens rock structures
C)Subduction uplift creates new land
D)Isostatic rebound counters coastal erosion
💡 Explanation
Increased sea stack formation occurs due to wave refraction because wave energy concentrates on headlands, intensifying hydraulic action. This removes material via coastal erosion; therefore, sea stacks form where weaker rock is eroded away rather than land being uplifted or stabilized by other processes.
