Glaciers shaped the landscape is the answer. Actually, in Nova Scotia near Halifax there is a glacial boulder or erratic of basalt which is deemed to come from about 130km away perhaps from the north or NW. Also, there are glacial striations there on the bedrock which can be used to determine the sense of the direction of flow of the ice. In New England, there are pro-glacial lakes. Both the Maritimes and New England were most likely covered by the Laurentide continental glaciation.
Answer:
transform plate boundary
Tectonic setting of the San Andreas Fault (transform plate boundary) in California, the subduction zone (convergent plate boundary: oceanic-continental collision) in the Pacific Northwest.
The answer is: HIGH POROSITY.
________________________________
(although low permeability can be associated with greater water retention. Permeability can be affected by particular size. For instance, larger particular have larger poles, so fluid (water) can pass through water quickly (higher permeability and less water retention). As such, smaller particles have smaller pores, so fluid (water) can pass through water LESS quickly (lower permeability and RETAINING MORE WATER.).

However, "high porosity" is the best choice.
