The correct answer is - d. Strait of Hormuz.

The Strait of Hormuz is located between the territories of Oman and the United Arab Emirates from one side, and Iran on the other side. It lies between the water bodies of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.

The strait itself is on the boundary between the Eurasian tectonic plate, and the Arabian tectonic plate. They form a convergent boundary. Since the Arabian plate is pushing against the Eurasian plate, there's constant stress deep into the ground, stress that causes lot of cracks to appear inside the crust. That results in very common earthquake occurrences.

Hello!

The garbage patchs are a site with high concentrations of trash. They are formed by the ocean gyre, where the ocean have convergences zones forming a circle of currents. When the garbage join the circle, it can't go out, cause the currents make a kind of a permanent "wall".

What are two reasons why population distribution and density patterns are useful to understand
zysi [14]
Population distribution and density patterns can be useful to understand because they help to explain how and why people migrate and develop in certain places around the world. These factors influence human migration and development and are therefore important to understand if you seek to understand how the world has developed over time and what are the forces that are driving this development.
