🔍 Key Concepts

• Review the general character of the north shore of Long Island in this area (rocky bluffs vs low marsh). • Think about how exposed shorelines near major straits (like Long Island Sound entrances) are typically shaped by waves and currents. • Recall typical features of marshy vs bluff coastlines and where you usually find each.

💭 Think About

• Is this stretch of coast more likely to be eroded and steep, or flat and marshy? Why? • If you looked at this area on a chart, what kind of shoreline symbols (cliffs/bluffs vs marsh/grass vs sand) would you expect to see? • How would local wave action and currents at the eastern end of Long Island Sound affect whether the shoreline is rocky, sandy, or marshy?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare each option with what you know about exposed vs sheltered coasts. • Eliminate any options that describe features more typical of protected bays and estuaries than an open Sound shoreline. • Ask whether this part of Long Island is more famous for high ground and bluffs or for low, swampy land along the water.
