🔍 Key Concepts

• Use of U.S. Coast Pilot and NOAA charts for coastal descriptions • Understanding how exam questions often test knowledge of coastline character (bluffs, marshes, beaches, shoals) • Geographic awareness of eastern Long Island Sound near Orient Point and Horton Point

💭 Think About

• Think about what kind of shoreline features are typically found near points and headlands exposed to open water and stronger currents. • Consider which option best fits an area that has lighthouses on prominent land rather than low-lying marsh. • Eliminate choices that would be more typical of estuaries and river mouths rather than the outer, exposed Sound.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check a large-scale chart of eastern Long Island Sound and read any marginal notes on shoreline character. • Verify the location of Horton Point Light and Orient Point Light and note what that suggests about the height and nature of the land. • Ask yourself which descriptions (low/marshy, gradual shoaling, bluff/rocky, sandy/wooded) match areas more sheltered versus those more exposed to open water.
