Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Sea caves occur when erosion occurs at weakened areas of sea cliffs. These caves are mostly available
only at low tide. Information can be found in the section Erosional Processes Dominate Some Coasts.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Fjords often begin their formation via tectonic forces. Later, they are shaped by glaciers eroding the
valleys of a river. Information can be found in the section Erosional Processes Dominate Some Coasts.
