Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An elevated marine terrace indicates that the land has been uplifted or that sea level has fallen, causing the former beach level to rise above the current sea level. Estuary (A) refers to a coastal inlet where freshwater from rivers meets saltwater from the ocean. Sea stack (B) is a pillar of rock standing in the sea that is left after erosion of the land. A tombolo (D) is a ridge of sand that connects an island to the mainland or another island. None of these features directly indicate uplift or sea level fall.
