Explanation / Answer

1.the answer is c=aquiclude
It is a geologic layer restricing flow of water and it doesnt have a confining layer

2.The answer is E-plunges
   the outcrop of an eroded will always point out in plunge direction

3.The answer is c-competence
   it is measure of the max size of particles the stream can transport

4.The answer is a=longshore current
   Produced when waves encounter the shoreline at oblique angles
