A. A long ridge of glacial till B. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind C. A deep glacial trough flooded by seawater D. A sharp, narrow ridge between two cirques Explanation: A fjord is a long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between high cliffs, typically formed by submergence of a glaciated valley. 5 / 205. What is a playa? A. A gently inclined rocky floor at the foot of a mountain B. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind C. A flat plain formed by deposition at the mouth of a river D. A shallow, temporary lake in a desert basin Explanation: A playa is a dry, flat lake bed found in desert basins, often covered with salt deposits due to evaporation. 6 / 206. What is a pediment? A. A flat plain formed by deposition at the mouth of a river B. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind C. A long ridge of glacial till D. A gently inclined rocky floor at the foot of a mountain Explanation: A pediment is a gently sloping, erosional surface of bedrock found at the base of a mountain or other high ground, often covered by a thin veneer of sediment. 7 / 207. What is an off-shore bar? A. A depositional landform made up of sand-sized materials B. A deep glacial trough flooded by seawater C. A long ridge of sand and shingle formed in the sea parallel to the coast D. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind Explanation: An off-shore bar is a submerged or partly exposed ridge of sand and gravel, formed in the offshore zone parallel to the coast.8 / 208. What are sand dunes? A. Deep glacial troughs flooded by seawater B. Mounds or ridges of sand formed by wind deposition C. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind D. Long ridges of sand and shingle parallel to the coast Explanation: Sand dunes are mounds or ridges of sand formed by the deposition of wind-blown sand, often found in deserts and coastal areas. 9 / 209. What is the primary agent of change along coasts? A. Waves B. Running water C. Glaciers D. Wind Explanation: Waves are the primary agent of change along coasts, as they constantly erode, transport, and deposit sediment, shaping the shoreline over time. 10 / 2010. What is a spit? A. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind B. A barrier bar that is connected to the mainland at one end C. A long ridge of sand and shingle formed in the sea parallel to the coast D. A deep glacial trough flooded by seawater Explanation: A spit is a narrow, elongated coastal landform, typically composed of sand or shingle, that extends from the mainland into a body of water. 11 / 2011. What are the most dynamic and destructive geological agents? A. Coastal processes B. Running water C. Glaciers D. Wind Explanation: Coastal processes are the most dynamic and destructive geological agents due to the constant interaction of waves, currents, and tides with the land. 12 / 2012. What is glacial till? A. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind B. Unsorted and unstratified debris deposited by a glacier C. Sorted and stratified sediment deposited by glacial meltwater D. A long ridge of glacial till Explanation: Glacial till is unsorted glacial sediment, comprising a wide range of particle sizes, from clay to boulders, deposited directly by the ice. 13 / 2013. What is a wave-built terrace? A. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind B. A depositional feature formed by the accumulation of sediment in the offshore zone C. A flat or gently sloping platform in front of a sea cliff D. A deep glacial trough flooded by seawater Explanation: A wave-built terrace is a submerged, flat or gently sloping platform formed by the deposition of sediment eroded from the coast. 14 / 2014. What are eskers? A. Long ridges of glacial till B. Sorted and stratified sediment deposited by glacial meltwater C. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind D. Sinuous ridges of sand and gravel deposited by subglacial streams Explanation: Eskers are long, winding ridges of stratified sand and gravel, formed by the deposition of sediment within meltwater channels beneath a glacier. 15 / 2015. What are the two types of coasts considered in the context of coastal landform evolution? A. High, rocky coasts and low, sedimentary coasts B. Coral coasts and mangrove coasts C. Sandy coasts and rocky coasts D. Glacial coasts and volcanic coasts Explanation: The two types of coasts considered in the context of coastal landform evolution are high, rocky coasts (submerged coasts) and low, sedimentary coasts (emerged coasts). 16 / 2016. What are drumlins? A. Oval-shaped hills of glacial till B. Long ridges of glacial till C. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind D. Deep, bowl-shaped basins carved by glaciers Explanation: Drumlins are elongated, teardrop-shaped hills composed of glacial till, formed beneath a moving glacier. 17 / 2017. What is a wave-cut platform? A. A flat or gently sloping platform in front of a sea cliff B. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind C. A long ridge of sand and shingle parallel to the coast D. A deep glacial trough flooded by seawater Explanation: A wave-cut platform is a flat or gently sloping surface cut by wave erosion at the base of a sea cliff. 18 / 2018. What are the two dominant agents of erosion in hot deserts? A. Glaciers and wind B. Running water and glaciers C. Coastal processes and wind D. Wind and running water Explanation: Wind and running water are the two dominant agents of erosion in hot deserts, shaping the landscape through deflation, abrasion, and transportation of sediment. 19 / 2019. What are sand dunes? A. Mounds or ridges of sand formed by wind deposition B. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind C. Long ridges of sand and shingle parallel to the coast D. Deep glacial troughs flooded by seawater Explanation: Sand dunes are mounds or ridges of sand formed by the deposition of wind-blown sand, often found in deserts and coastal areas. 20 / 2020. What are outwash plains? A. Long ridges of glacial till B. Flat plains formed by the deposition of glacial meltwater C. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind D. Deep, bowl-shaped basins carved by glaciers Explanation: Outwash plains are flat or gently sloping areas of sediment deposited by meltwater streams flowing out from a glacier.
