Clay particles stick together to form aggregates where river water and seawater meet by the pr A. carbonation B. flocculation C. Ithification D. oxidation E. metamorphism 22. There is no halocline in estuaries due to strong tidal currents A. salt-wedge B. partially mixed C. well-mixed 23. The open ocean is connected to lagoons behind barrier islands via_ A. tidal inlets B. overwash during storms C. overwash during spring tides D. rip currents 24. Tidal inlet formation during storm events are due to storm A. tidal wave B. bore C. surge D. surf E. swellExplanation / Answer
18. C. Shallow Continental Shelf
There is strong tendency of partially mixed estuary, which mostly receives sand and mud from the inner continental shelf.
19. B. Flocculation
The process of adhering one particle on another to form a cluster is called as flocculation.
22. C. Well Mixed
The Salt-wedge and partially mixed estuary has some amount if halocline in them.
23. A. Tidal Inlets
The Barrier islands lagoon are dependent on the water by tidal inlet and river water.
