🔍 Key Concepts

• U.S. East Coast geography in the area of the Delmarva Peninsula (Virginia Eastern Shore) • Typical shoreline characteristics near Great Machipongo Inlet and Cape Charles (e.g., barrier islands, marshes, bluffs) • How major river mouths and rocky coasts are distributed along the U.S. East Coast

💭 Think About

• Think about what the coastline of Virginia’s Eastern Shore looks like when viewed from offshore or on a chart: is it steep and rocky, or generally low and flat? • Consider whether this particular stretch of coast is known for big river entrances or for barrier islands, marshes, and beaches. • Ask yourself which two choices clearly do NOT match what is commonly seen anywhere along the mid-Atlantic coastal plain.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which choice best matches a low-lying coastal plain environment rather than mountainous or rocky terrain. • Eliminate any options that describe high, rocky cliffs or isolated hills, which are uncommon along the Virginia Eastern Shore oceanfront. • Verify on a chart or coast pilot whether this area is characterized by barrier beaches and marshes or by major river embouchures.
