← GeographyWhich risk increases when a coastal engineering project disrupts sediment transportation?
A)Increased erosion downcurrent of structures✓
B)Formation of stable, larger deltas
C)Decreased turbidity near river mouths
D)Enhanced deposition within engineered harbors
💡 Explanation
Increased erosion downcurrent becomes likely because interrupting longshore drift starves beaches of sediment; therefore erosion increases, rather than delta formation and harbor siltation risks are heightened in adjacent areas causing increased erosion problems.
