Which is likely to have formed farthest from the shoreline?
SILTY SHALE
What is a bight?
A bight is a wide bay formed by a bend or curve in a shoreline.
The body of water whose shoreline formed a boundary of the Olmec lands?
The Gulf of Mexico.
How could the type of shoreline affect the types of sediment you find there?
Rocky shorelines have rocks and cliffs, so when the waves crash against the rock fragments and sediments are formed along the shoreline.

Explain how a fjord is formed?
The fjords are surrounded by rugged mountains. We can find them on the shoreline in Labrador. They are formed by glaciers that sculpted the valley's from a <<v>> shape to a <<u>> shape.
What shoreline features are formed by erosion?
Some shoreline features formed by erosion include sea cliffs, sea arches, sea caves, and wave-cut platforms. Erosion by waves, currents, and wind gradually wears away the coastline, shaping these distinctive landforms over time.
Which rock was most likely formed from pebble-sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline?
Conglomerate rock is most likely formed from pebble-sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline. As the pebbles accumulate, they cement together to form the rock.
Is a spit formed by erosion or deposition?
A spit is formed by deposition. A spit is a long, narrow sandbar that extends from the shoreline into open water, created by the deposition of sediment carried by longshore drift.
Where is the Shoreline Library in Shoreline located?
The address of the Shoreline Library is: 345 Ne 175Th St, Shoreline, 98155 M
How are erosional and despositinal features along a shoreline alike and different?
Erosional and depositional features along a shoreline are alike in that both are formed through the action of waves, currents, and tides. However, they differ in that erosional features involve the removal of sediment and reshaping of the coastline, while depositional features involve the accumulation of sediment and building up of the shoreline.
Is pebble conglomerate likely to have formed farthest from the shoreline?
No, pebble conglomerate is more likely to form closer to the shoreline where high-energy water can transport and deposit large pebbles. Farther from the shoreline, sediments are usually finer-grained and form different types of rocks like shale or sandstone.
