Which risk increases when construction disrupts longshore drift?

💡 Explanation

Erosion increases due to sediment starvation caused by reduced longshore drift because sediment replenishment is halted; therefore, downdrift coastlines erode substantially rather than experiencing deposition because interrupted drift cannot maintain beaches.
