Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Tides are never free from the forces that cause them. They are caused by a mixture of the gravitational
force of the sun and the moon, and the motion of the Earth. Information can be found in the section
Tides Are the Longest of All Ocean Waves.



Answer to Question 2

ANS:Answer
should include:
 Erosional coasts are those that are involved in the removal of coastal material. Land and
marine erosion is essential in this type of coast.
 The erosion of rocks can be dependent upon their hardness. Hard rocks will resist
erosion when faced with wave shock. Softer rocks may not even last the night when
subjected to wave energy forces.
 Erosion rates are also linked to the amount of marine erosion. High-energy coasts are
battered by large waves on a consistent basis. This can increase erosion rates. Lowenergy
areas receive few large waves.
 These can sometimes be called wave-cut shores. They are characterized by abrupt sea
cliffs and sea caves. They also have wave-cut platforms that correspond to the
submerged limit of marine erosion.

Did you know?

Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. It may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, but sometimes it is the result of an irregularly shaped lens. Either type can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

The first documented use of surgical anesthesia in the United States was in Connecticut in 1844.

All adverse reactions are commonly charted in red ink in the patient's record and usually are noted on the front of the chart. Failure to follow correct documentation procedures may result in malpractice lawsuits.

Did you know?

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
