Answer:

Wave erosion

Explanation:

The barrier islands are defined as a type of island constructed by the long stretches of sand particles that are oriented parallel to the coastal areas. They are often found to be associated with estuaries and lagoons which provides valuable nutrients to the marine organisms existing in this region.

These barrier islands are formed from the deposition of the sand particles near the coastal areas. These sands are carried by the waves that weather the coastal rocks and also some of the sediments are carried from the sea, that is eventually accumulated near the coast where the wave velocity is comparatively less, due to which these sand particles are accumulated, and over a specific period of time, it forms a barrier island.

Thus, waves are the natural erosional agent that creates the barrier islands along the southern coastal region of Long Island, in New York City.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: in order from small intestine to the rectum: 1, 4, 2 and 3.

Explanation: Ascending colon; the colic valve(the ileocecal valve) is located at the bottom of the ascending colon. At the top of the ascending colon, the colon bends to the left, forming the right colic flexure called the hepatic flexure. The transverse colon begins after this flexure.

The transverse colon; is the longest and most movable part of the colon which runs across the abdomen from the ascending colon at the right colic flexure with a downward convexity to the descending colon, here it curves abruptly on itself under the lower end of the spleen to form left colic flexure called the splenic flexure.

Descending colon; it start from the splenic flexure to the beginning of the sigmoid colon. The descending colon stores the remnant of digested food that will be deposited into the rectum.

Sigmoid colon; also known as pelvic colo is the closest to the rectum, it is a passage by which digested food move into the rectum.
