Water and Wind Erosion

Question 6 • PARTA - EVP: PGCPS BIOGEOCHEM CR (FALL2026) - 798113

Which photograph shows an example of a feature caused by erosion from waves?

Answer
A
[Image: A river....]
B
[Image: Wave like patterns in sand....]
C
[Image: A cavern containing water and stalactites....]
D
[Image: A sea arch....]

Explanation

Waves wear away rock along a coastline through repeated impact and abrasion. Over time, this erosion can carve an opening through a headland, forming a sea arch. The photograph showing a sea arch is therefore the correct choice; sand patterns are formed by moving sediment, not by waves carving a rock feature.
