Answer:

D is a spit. It is produced as a result of longshore drift conveying sediment through the beach and accumulating the sediments at a hurdle.

Explanation:

Spits are a product of deposition of sediment - which is a result of constant supply of longshore drift due to an alteration in the way or shape of a coastline. It is an extended stretch of beach substances which links to the mainland out of the sea at a certain end.

A typial form of a spit is Spurn Head, located in the north east of England at the north of the Humber Estuary. It is formed as a result of deposition of material from the erosion of the Holderness Coast in the north direction. Another example is Spurn Head in Yorkshire.

Lakes and rivers constitute _______.

Brums [2.3K]

<span>Perhaps surprisingly, lakes and rivers constitute a tiny proportion of the world's total freshwater, so answer (b) is correct. Most of the freshwater on our planet is in fact locked up in ice and glaciers, some 68%. The majority of the rest, 30%, is actually underground, in springs and other groundwater feeders. That leaves just 2% that makes up all the rivers, lakes, ponds and other visible freshwater reservoirs that we see in our day-to-day lives.</span>
