Lake Eola is a sinkhole lake. What reasoning best describes how it formed?

• An underground cave collapsed, and the sediment plug opened.

• An underground cave collapsed and became plugged by sediment.

• A cut-off meander of a stream formed a crescent-shaped lake.

• A chunk of ice deposited by a glacier melted, and the glacial drift around the former ice block held the water in place.

Dunes form in any place where there is a lot of sand and prevailing winds, such as in a desert. However, Florida does not have any deserts. Based on the evidence, which claim best describes most of Florida’s dunes?

• dunes formed by sediment from mountains

• dunes formed by sediment carried by rivers

• coastal dunes behind rocky cliffs

• coastal dunes behind sandy beaches
