11 c)A spit or sandspit is a deposition bar or beach landform off coasts or lake shores.
12. d)tombolo means is a deposition landform in which a land or island is attached to the mainland by a narrow piece of land.
13. e)sea stack is a geological landform which consists of a steep vertical columns of rock in the sea near a coast and form a wave erosion. It is formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology.
14. b)Wave-cut platform are sloping rock which extends from the high-tide level at the steep-cliff base to below the low-tide level.
15. a)A sea cave is a type of cave formed primarily by the wave action of the sea. The primary process involved is erosion.
16.b)Hadley cell is a atmospheric convection cell where air rises at the equator and sinks at medium latitudes about 30° north or south.
17.c)The horse latitudes are subtropical regions which are known for calm winds and little precipitation.They are located at about 30 degrees north and south of the equator.
18.a)The trade winds are the prevailing pattern of easterly surface winds found in the tropics.
19.e)Doldrums equatorial calms atmospheric circulation cell nearest to the equator.
20.d)The westerlies are prevailing winds from the west toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude. They originate from the high-pressure areas in the horse latitudes and trend towards the poles and steer extratropical cyclones in this general manner.
