A spit is a landform created by the deposition of sand by the movement of the tides.
<span>Spits are narrow and elongated – one end is attached to the mainland and the other is out in open water. A spit develops when waves meet the beach at an oblique angle, moving sediment down the beach and into the open waters where it is deposited in a narrow strip. As a spit grows, it might become stable and fertile and even support habitation.</span>

What effect did the movement of glaciers have on the region? 1. caused the formation of fjords 2. created thousands of lakes 3.
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

A fjord is usually defined as a contrasting geological landform, which is typically a U-shaped valley, that is formed due to the movement of the glaciers. It is generally narrow and forms steep-sided cliffs on both the sides and is mostly connected to the seas. They have huge depth, sometimes reaches up to a depth of about 1300 m. The downward flowing glaciers pushes the terminal moraine and allows it to remain underwater at its entrance, resulting in shallow water at the fjord's neck, in comparison to the main body of the fjord that is located behind it.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
