What are sand dunes? A. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind B. Deep glacial troughs flooded by seawater C. Mounds or ridges of sand formed by wind deposition 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. 4 / 204.

Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind Explanation: Eskers are long, winding ridges of stratified sand and gravel, formed by the deposition of sediment within meltwater channels beneath a glacier. 5 / 205. What are drumlins? A. Long ridges of glacial till B. Oval-shaped hills 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. 6 / 206. What is a playa? A. A flat plain formed by deposition at the mouth of a river B. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind C. A shallow, temporary lake in a desert basin D. A gently inclined rocky floor at the foot of a mountain Explanation: A playa is a dry, flat lake bed found in desert basins, often covered with salt deposits due to evaporation. 7 / 207. What are moraines? A. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind B. Sorted and stratified sediment deposited by glacial meltwater C. Deep, bowl-shaped basins carved by glaciers D. Long ridges of glacial till Explanation: Moraines are linear landforms composed of glacial till, deposited at the sides, base, or terminus of a glacier. 8 / 208. What is the primary agent of change along coasts? A. Running water B. Wind C. Glaciers D. Waves Explanation: Waves are the primary agent of change along coasts, as they constantly erode, transport, and deposit sediment, shaping the shoreline over time. 9 / 209. What are sand dunes? A. Deep glacial troughs flooded by seawater B. Long ridges of sand and shingle parallel to the coast C. Crescent-shaped sand dunes with points downwind D. Mounds or ridges of sand formed by wind deposition Explanation: Sand dunes are mounds or ridges of sand formed by the deposition of wind-blown sand, often found in deserts and coastal areas. 10 / 2010. What are the most dynamic and destructive geological agents? A. Running water B. Coastal processes 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. 11 / 2011. What is a spit? A. A barrier bar that is connected to the mainland at one end B. A long ridge of sand and shingle formed in the sea parallel to the coast C. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind 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. 12 / 2012. What is a beach? A. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind B. A deep glacial trough flooded by seawater C. A depositional landform made up of sand-sized materials D. A long ridge of sand and shingle parallel to the coast Explanation: A beach is a narrow strip of land along the shoreline, typically composed of sand, gravel, or pebbles, deposited by waves and currents. 13 / 2013. What is a wave-built terrace? A. A flat or gently sloping platform in front of a sea cliff B. A deep glacial trough flooded by seawater C. A depositional feature formed by the accumulation of sediment in the offshore zone D. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind 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 is a lagoon? A. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind B. A shallow body of water separated from the sea by a barrier bar or spit C. A deep glacial trough flooded by seawater D. A long ridge of glacial till Explanation: A lagoon is a shallow body of water separated from the open sea by a barrier bar, spit, or other coastal landform. 15 / 2015. What is a wave-cut platform? A. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind B. A deep glacial trough flooded by seawater C. A flat or gently sloping platform in front of a sea cliff D. A long ridge of sand and shingle parallel to the coast Explanation: A wave-cut platform is a flat or gently sloping surface cut by wave erosion at the base of a sea cliff. 16 / 2016. What is a fjord? A. A sharp, narrow ridge between two cirques B. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind C. A long ridge of glacial till D. A deep glacial trough flooded by seawater Explanation: A fjord is a long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between high cliffs, typically formed by submergence of a glaciated valley. 17 / 2017. What is glacial till? A. Unsorted and unstratified debris deposited by a glacier B. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind 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. 18 / 2018. What are the two dominant agents of erosion in hot deserts? A. Coastal processes and wind B. Glaciers and wind C. Wind and running water D. Running water and glaciers 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 is a pediment? A. A long ridge of glacial till B. A gently inclined rocky floor at the foot of a mountain C. A crescent-shaped sand dune with points downwind D. A flat plain formed by deposition at the mouth of a river 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. 20 / 2020. What are the two types of coasts considered in the context of coastal landform evolution? A. Sandy coasts and rocky coasts B. Glacial coasts and volcanic coasts C. High, rocky coasts and low, sedimentary coasts D. Coral coasts and mangrove 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).
