🔍 Key Concepts

• Radar reflection from land – what kinds of surfaces bounce radar energy back strongly • Difference between low, breaking water and hard, vertical surfaces on radar • How height and material (rock, cliffs, structures) affect radar echoes

💭 Think About

• Look at each choice and ask: does this feature present a broad, solid, relatively smooth face to the radar, or is it mostly broken water/isolated objects? • Which option would consistently give a strong return in all sea states, not just when the sea is rough or when a single object happens to be in range? • Think about what your radar picture typically looks like when you pass a steep rocky headland versus shallow breakers or scattered rocks.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which feature would give the largest, most continuous reflective surface facing the radar • Consider which options depend on sea conditions (waves/breakers) and which do not • Ask whether a single structure versus an entire shoreline is more likely to be described as giving a “good radar return” in this context
