Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Temperate-climate beaches undergo seasonal changes. They tend to be cut lower in the winter due to
winter storms. Information can be found in the section Beaches Dominate Depositional Coasts

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
The sea level is not in equilibrium with the current state of the coastlines. This means there is probably
an accelerated rate of sea-level rise in our future. Information can be found in the section Coasts Are
Shaped by Marine and Terrestrial Processes.
