A beach ridge is formed by what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: By linear deposition of sand and shingle on a shore by waves and storm water
A beach ridge is a raised, elongated accumulation of sand or shingle that generally lies parallel or slightly oblique to the shoreline. Waves, longshore currents, and storm water move sediment landward and deposit it along the coast; repeated deposition builds the ridge. Option C is correct. River incision, cave collapse, and glacial scratching are erosional processes of other environments.
