Glaciers retreat due to low snow fall and the ice moving uphill A. True B. False 34. Tides that have the highest highs and lowest lows are: A. Summer tides B. Neap tides C. Spring tides D. Neat tides 35. When ablation is greater than accumulation the glacier will A. advance B. retreat 36. C. still stand D. grow 37. A river meander that is cut off from the river by subseoquent erosion can become ao) A. a cut bank B. a braided stream C. an oxbow lake D. a point bar Valleys carved by glaciers tend to be A. V-shaped B. W-shaped C. X-shaped D. U-shaped 38. that broke off an ice shelf along the Antarctic margin will cause sea level to rise

Explanation / Answer

29. The statement is false. In winter the sediments gets eroded while in summer, the sands get deposited on the beach and helps in the recovery of the eroded beach.

30. Braided streams consists of intertwined channels that are loaded with sediments. They resemble a braid.

31. River carries geologic material as bed load (traction and saltation), as dissolved load(solution) and suspended load(suspension).

32. The movement of sediments in a beach along a zigzag pattern is called longshore drift. The waves approach the shore at an angle and recedes back from it.
