The ways by which ocean shoreline-shaping processes are different from those shaping lakeshores.
Answer to Problem 1LC
Landform development along ocean shorelines is different from that along lakeshores because short range of tides along lakeshore, difference in fluctuations of lakes and sea and difference in favorable environment for the formation of coral reefs.
Explanation of Solution
Landform development of ocean and lakes is affected by the motion of water and wind. Oceanic water is an agent of erosion and form rocky cliffs and headlands. Wind affects the landforms by depositing sand along shoreline. However, the landform development of lakeshore is different from ocean shoreline because range of tide is small along lakeshore, lake-level fluctuations are different from sea-level fluctuations and the development of coral reefs are formed place in tropical and subtropical oceans, not lakes.
