Answer: True

Explanation: Jetties are structures constructed perpendicular to shore. They form a 90 degree angle to the shore and cause sediment to accumulate on the updrift side. This is the side that provides sediments.

Jetties are made of heaps of stones or concrete deposited at coastal inlets. They change the longshore current, and due to this, create updrift beaches.

Shoreline Structures such as jetties, and seawells help protect the shoreline from erosion and lessen the effect of currents and waves on the shoreline.

Which of the following scenarios best describes how the Hawaiian Islands formed in the Pacific Ocean? View Available Hint(s) Whi
pogonyaev

The correct answer is - Magma generated from a hot spot burned through the overlying plate to create volcanoes.

The Hawaiian Islands are all formed as a result of volcanic activity of a hot spot. The hot spot is stationary, but the islands are in the shape of a chain, not all in the same place. Also, the rocks on the islands that do not have active volcanoes are older, than the ones that do have volcanic activity. This suggests that the Pacific plate is moving. According the direction in which the islands are arranged, the Pacific plate seems to move toward northwest. As it moves, it moves over the hot spot. Since the hot spot is stationary, as the Pacific plate moves, eventually the volcanic activity will stop on the island that has moved further away from the hot spot. The magma from the hot spot will penetrate through the crust that came to be over it. That will result in new volcanic island emerging from the sea over the hot spot. The process goes on for millions of years, and it can result in hundreds of islands of volcanic origin.
