← GeographyWhich risk increases when differential erosion affects coastlines?
A)Increased sea stack collapsing frequency✓
B)Decreased tidal range variability
C)Enhanced coastal sediment deposition
D)Reduced longshore current velocity
💡 Explanation
Increased coastal erosion at the base of sea stacks results in structural instability. This triggers gravity-induced toppling because undercutting weakens the base; therefore, sea stacks collapse more frequently rather than undergoing uniform erosion, which would only gradually shrink it.
