Because of wave refraction,erosion along an irregular coastline is ____________.
A) even along the length of the coast
B) greatest in headlands (points of land projected out toward the sea)
C) greatest in bays

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wave refraction causes waves to bend and concentrate their energy on headlands, leading to increased erosion in those areas. In contrast, bays receive less wave energy due to wave diffraction and are therefore less susceptible to erosion. Thus, erosion along an irregular coastline is greatest in headlands.
