Explanation

The landforms listed are created by distinct geomorphic agents. Loess is a wind-deposited (aeolian) landform consisting of fine, mineral-rich silt and dust that blankets large areas, such as the Loess Plateau in China [2]. Tombolos are sea-deposited features formed when waves and longshore currents deposit sand or gravel that connects an island to the mainland or another island [4]. Point bars are fluvial (river) depositional landforms found on the inside curves of meandering rivers, where reduced stream velocity causes sediment to settle [5]. Moraines are glacial depositional landforms composed of unsorted debris (till) left behind by moving or melting glaciers. Matching these pairs (A-1, B-4, C-3, D-2) aligns with standard geomorphological classifications of depositional processes across aeolian, coastal, fluvial, and glacial environments.
