The arrow is pointed to a channel between two barrier islands. If a hurricane hit this area, how might the channel change?

• The channel would become deeper as the waves move sand into the channel.

• The channel would become shallower as the waves move sand into the channel.

• The channel would not change because hurricane force winds and waves have no effect on coastal areas.

Where would you expect to find more erosion due to waves?

• Area A

• Area B

• neither, waves don't cause erosion

How would expect this feature to change over time?

• The crater will continue to deepen as water erodes the rim.

• The crater will fill as wind deposits sediments inside the crater.

• The crater will continue to deepen as wind weathers the rocks inside the crater.

• The crater will fill as water weathers the sediments outside the crater.

The satellite image below shows a portion of the Namib Desert in Africa. This is an ancient, sandy desert with dunes that can be up to 305 m tall. The Namib Desert extends inland from the Atlantic Ocean between 80 km and 200 km and receives only 5 mm to 76 mm of rain each year. A satellite picture of this same area taken weeks before shows that the shape and location of some sand dunes have changed. Which of these most likely caused the changes in the dunes?

• Ocean waves

• Flowing rivers

• Blowing wind

• Crustal uplift
