Question

20 POINTS! Which process is most likely the direct cause of the formation of this barrier island?

A.) sediments deposited by the wind
B.) sediments eroded by the wind
C.) sediments eroded by ocean waves
D.) sediments deposited by ocean waves

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Barrier islands form as waves repeatedly deposit sediment parallel to the shoreline. As wind and waves shift according to weather patterns and local geographic features, these islands constantly move, erode, and grow. They can even disappear entirely.
