16.) What primary ecological event/process influenced the land form where you live?( & what's the evidence?)

The land form that dominates Rhode Island is over 400 miles of coastline, which is dotted with lagoons, rivers, and salt marshes. Narragansett Bay divides the state in half and includes three of the sixteen islands that compromise the state, some of which are characterized by rolling hills. Erosion and the force of water constantly shapes the coastline, which literally changes with every ebb and flow of the tide, and more significantly after powerful hurricanes and the like.
