The correct answer is - all of these contributed.

The sediments in the lagoons come from multiple different sources. The rivers and streams from the mainland, the sediments brought by the wind, and even the ocean waves that manage to get over the spit occasionally.

The biggest influence in the deposition of the sediments in the lagoons though is by the rivers and the streams from the mainland. They carry sediments with them constantly, and the amount of those sediments is also on a high level, in fact they bring in so much sediments that they have actually built the lagoon itself.

The wind and the ocean waves that manage to get over the spit have much lesser influence in the total deposition of sediments, but still they do in some part, and it shouldn't be put aside.

The combination of the three different sources, with different types of sediments brought to the lagoon by each of them, gives the lagoons a beautiful and unique appearance.

In line 29,”effectual succor” is best paraphrased as:
AnnyKZ [126]
Middle English speakers adapted "socour," the predecessor of "succor<span>," from the Anglo-French sucors, which essentially had the same meaning as our modern word. "Sucors," in turn, derives from the Medieval Latin succursus, itself a derivative of the Latin verb succurrere, meaning "to run to the rescue or "to bring aid."</span>

After the French and Indian War and before the Revolution, the British managed their newly-acquired territories. Which statement
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. To make more manageable colonies, Spanish Florida was divided into British West Florida and British East Florida.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Paris was signed on February 10, 1763, ending the Seven Years' War. This treaty provided England with great territorial gains in the colonial world. After the French and Indian War it acquired almost all of the French possessions on the North American continent, including Canada, and Florida, which until then had been Spanish property. However, the areas west of the Mississippi (from California to Texas) became Spanish property. After acquiring the peninsula, the British divided Florida into two colonies, one to the east and one to the west of it.
