Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The wave action is centralized on a particular level for a long period of time. This increases the rate of
erosion on the beach. Information can be found in the section Erosional Processes Dominate Some
Coasts



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A bay mouth bar is formed from a sand spit that has closed off a bay by attaching the headlands to the
adjacent bay. Information can be found in the section Larger-Scale Features Accumulate on
Depositional Coasts
