Answer:

Waves weather and erode shorelines. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks on or near Earth’s surface. Weathering occurs when waves crash into rocks along the shoreline. Erosion occurs when weathered sediments are moved from one place to another. Sediments can be moved by water, wind, glaciers, or gravity.

One example of waves shaping a shoreline is the formation of a bay and headlands. Waves constantly batter cliffs, breaking down the rock they are made of. Some types of rocks, such as those made from clay or sand, break down more easily. Cliffs made of these types of rocks weather more quickly. The resulting sediments are carried away, and a bay can form. A bay is an area of shoreline that curves inland and usually has a beach. The cliffs made of rocks that do not break down as easily stay in place and extend further into the water compared to the edges of the bay. These cliffs are called headlands.

Issues such as aesthetics, morality, and religion can usually be resolved through empirical research.

Hello! I would say the correct answer here is B. False.

As these topics are highly debatable and have many different viewpoints varied by factors such as upbringing, location, and life experience, they cannot be entirely solved. Eliminating these issues and falling under one standard would represent a utopian and realistically unachievable world. Without the world’s diversity the whole world would be “in uniform” (one of my favorite phrases from The Great Gatsby) and the creativity and culture would cease to exist. So, since these issues are unable to be resolved, empirical research is not applicable in a solution to them.

I hope this helps! :)
