Barrier Islands
To determine which two points benefit Georgia in relation to barrier islands, we need to analyze the given options:
1) They create deep sea ports: Barrier islands can provide natural protection and shelter for harbors, allowing for the creation and maintenance of deep sea ports. This facilitates shipping, trade, and economic growth.
2) They protect the coastline from waves and wind: Barrier islands act as a buffer, shielding the mainland coast from the impact of waves and wind during storms. This protection helps to prevent erosion, property damage, and loss of land.
3) They serve as a tourist destination: Barrier islands often possess beautiful beaches, unique ecosystems, and recreational opportunities. These attractions can draw tourists and contribute to the local economy through tourism-related activities.
4) They reduce the likelihood of drought: Barrier islands do not directly contribute to reducing the likelihood of drought in Georgia. Factors related to rainfall patterns, climate, and water management practices impact drought conditions in a region.
Considering the provided options, the two points that best represent the benefits of barrier islands to Georgia are:
1) They create deep sea ports
2) They protect the coastline from waves and wind
