Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

A barrier island is usually defined as a long and narrow type of land that is dominantly comprised of sand particles and are oriented parallel to the coastal mainland.

The presence of a barrier island protects the coastal rocks from getting eroded by the strong water waves, wind, and tidal effects. This acts as a barrier and there lies a lagoon between the coastal landform and the barrier island.

It plays an important role in the ecosystem as it provides valuable nutrients and minerals, supporting a large number of living species.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer:

El término archipiélago, en geografía, caracteriza una formación geológica que consiste en una cadena o grupo desarrollado de islas.

Los archipiélagos se encuentran generalmente en alta mar, aunque en algunos casos se encuentran adyacentes a grandes volúmenes de tierra. Los archipiélagos son a menudo volcánicos, se forman a lo largo de fallas oceánicas o en áreas con actividad volcánica activa, sin embargo, otros procesos geológicos como la deposición, desintegración y elevación del suelo están involucrados en el proceso de formación.
