can you possibly provide the passage because without it i cant really answer sorry i wasn't much help
Answer:
These islands are barrier islands.
Explanation:
Barrier islands are islands in front of the mainland that separate part of the sea from the open sea. They lie parallel to the coast and have an elongated, narrow shape. On the sea side, dunes often shape the surface, on the land side they are flat. They were created by deposits of waves, currents and wind. Their formation requires a shallow coastal fore, a sufficiently large sediment store and a weak to moderate tidal range.
It's like editing over what's already written. it's the process of reading something and marking for any error. (: Usually deemed more helpful when you let two completely different people proof read the same paper to get a better result!
Good luck, rockstar! (: I wish you the best and hope you pass!
