Which agent of erosion is mainly responsible for the formation of the barrier islands along the southern coast of Long Island, New York?

Mass movement

Explanation:

D) Ocean waves

Explanation:

Barrier islands are types of landforms that are created or formed when ocean currents which act as an agent of erosion, deposit sediments such as sands, rock particles opposite or parallel to the mainland coast.

Barrier Islands tend to be flat in shape and have dune present in them.

They help to protect the coastal areas from storms that can cause flooding and erosion.

Barrier Islands can be found along the southern coast of Long Island, New York.
