Answer:
1. Cold Front- E. Cold air below warm air; cold air advances.
2. Coastal Bays- M. Sand deposition on shoreline.
3. Inactive Sand Dune- T. Vegetated Sand Dune.
4. Longshore Current- O. Sand transport machanism parallel to shoreline.
5. Continental Tropical- D. Warm and dry air to the United States.
6. Occluded Front- H. cold front overtakes warm front.
7. Coastal Headlands- L. Area of wave focus and erosion.
8.Continental Polar- A. Cool and dry air to the United States.
9. Circular- Q. Shape of water motion in a wave.
10. Neap tide- N. Low tides.
11. Maritime Tropical- B. Warm and moist air to the United States.
12. Texas- J. Greatest tornado frequency by average.
13. Tombolo- R. Sandbar connecting an island to mainland.
14. Warm Front-F. Warm air slides up and over cool air; stratus clouds.
15. September- K. Month of most hurricans.
16. Thunderstorm bottom- G. Supercell is an example.
17. Low pressure- I. Counterclockwise and inward.
18. Maritime Polar- C. Cool and moist air to the United States.
19. Breaker- P. Wave speed, top of wave > wave speed near ocean.
20. Barrier Island- S. North Carolina islands parallel to shoreline.
[Explanation-
1. Cold Front - In case of cold front, cold air propagates towards the warm air and undercuts the warm air. Thus warm air is forced and lifted up at a faster rate. As warm air rises quickly, is getting cooled rapidly.
2. Coastal Bays- It is a body of water which has a direct connection to larger water body, like ocean. Example- Bay of Bengal.
3.Inactive sand dunes- Sand dunes become inactive in nature by developing vegetations above them. Sand dunes are active when sands are eroded continuously.
4.Longshore Current- It is a type of ocean current through which sediments are deposited parallel to shoreline.
5. Continetal Tropical- Very unstable, hot and dry airmass; found in southwest of U.S.
6. Occluded Front- During storm intensification, faster moving cold front overtakes warm front.
7.Coastal Headlands- It is a type of coastal landform, that is extended into a body of water. In this zone, wave erosion is intensified.
8. Continental Polar- Found in northern Canada or Siberia; cold and extremely dry.
9. Circular- Surface water moves due to wave action and waves are generally moved in a circular fashion.
10. Neap tides- During quarter Moon, the Sun and Moon present at a right angle to each other, so the buldges are canceled. Neap tide is a weak tide.
11. Maritime Tropical- very warm, humid, unstable air mass; found in eastern U.S.
12. Texas- In Texas, a huge number of tornadoes occur. Tornadoes occur at a high rate in the Red River Valley of North Texas. Tornadoes are mostly occur during the late spring and early summer months.
13. Tombolo- It is a one type of depositional landform, where an island is connectiong with the mainland with the help of sandbar or spit.
14. Warm Front- When warm air meets with cold air, then warm air risen up above cold air as it light in weight.
15. September- In this month hurricanes are mostly occur due to warm ocean water; found in Atlantic basin.
16. Thunderstorm bottom- It has a character like supercell such as severe, large, powerful updrafts.
17. Low pressure- In the Northern Hemisphere, lowpressure area is characterised by counter-clockwise rotation.
18. Maritime polar- cool, moist; found in west coast of U.S.
19.Breaker- Breaking of wave occur mainly on beaches. Breaking waves may be spilling, plunging, collapsing, surging.
20. Barrier island- It is a long sandy land parallel to main land coast. It protects the coast from waves. ]
