Submergent Coasts are those that have been flooded by ocean waters because of a relative rise in the elevation of sea level at that location. The rise in sea level can be either the result of an increase in the volume of water in the ocean basins or the result of the land surface sinking, both of which create an apparent rise in the elevation of sea level. Features of a submergent coastline are drowned river valleys or rias and drowned glaciated valleys or fjords.
Estuaries are often the drowned mouths of rivers.
The Western Coastal Plains of the Indian subcontinent are examples of submergent coastline. Emergent coasts are a result of local tectonic uplift of the land surface or a fall in the elevation of sea level because of a reduction in the water volume of ocean basins. Quite often, emergent coasts have rocky coastlines with cliffs and nearly flat platforms that extend inland where older coastal plains have been tectonically raised and are now elevated above the modern land and water interface.
The emergent coastline may have several specific landforms:
• Raised beach
• Wave cut platform
• Sea cave

The cryosphere is those portions of Earth’s surface where water is in solid form, including sea ice, lake ice, river ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, and frozen ground.
Snow has high albedo.

Cotton is considered as a fiber crop and its seed is used as vegetable oil. Cotton is a Kharif crop and a tropical as well as subtropical crop.
It is usually grown in temperatures of 21-30 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 50-100 cm of rainfall. The major producers of cotton in terms of states include Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Orissa. Gujarat is the highest of all. India is the world’s largest cotton producing country.

Continental Shelf is the submerged edge of a continent which is a gently sloping plain that extends into the Ocean. The typical gradient is less than 1°. The average width of continental shelves is about 80 km. The largest continental shelf is the Siberian Shelf in the Arctic Ocean, which stretches to 1,500 kilometres in width. Because of the gentle slope, the continental shelf is influenced by the changes in the sea level.
The shelf is formed mainly due to
• Rise in sea level
• Submergence of a part of a continent
• Sedimentary deposits brought down by rivers

Only statement 1 is correct.
