I thought wrack was a type of glacial feature, but now I'm second-guessing myself. Wasn't there a question about different types of glacial formations?

I feel like wrack is related to what washes up on the shore, maybe like option D? That sounds familiar from practice questions.

I remember studying glacial deposits, but I can't recall if wrack is one of those or if it's more about coastal environments.

I think wrack has something to do with beach materials, but I'm not entirely sure if it's just algae or includes other stuff too.

I'm a bit confused on the differences between USIP, USNIP, Layer 2, and Layer 3. I'll need to double-check the details to make sure I select the correct option.

Wrack, huh? Sounds like a pretty 'racking' question. I'm going with D - can't go wrong with the beach debris choice!

If I had to choose, I'd go with D. It's the only one that mentions the actual accumulation of organic materials on beaches.
