Between which landmarks does the Inshore Current flow?

• A. Beyond the end of the beach toward offshore
• B. Between land's low water mark and end of beach
• C. Along the shoreline above high water line
• D. Within estuaries only

Answer: (B)

Inshore current runs along the nearshore, confined to the strip of water between the land’s low-water mark and the end of the beach. This zone is where waves drive longshore and inshore flows, so the appropriate boundaries are the low-water line on shore and the point where the beach ends and open water begins. Beyond the end of the beach is the offshore area with different currents, and the inshore current isn’t limited to estuaries or the area above the high-water line.
