Answer:

Cays

Explanation:

Cays: they are small, low-altitude, sandy islands formed on the surface of coral reefs. Eroded reef material piles up in certain parts of the reef or lagoon, forming an area above sea level. Plants can stabilize the keys sufficiently, such as to make it a habitable environment for humans. The keys occur in tropical Pacific, Atlantic and Indian environments (including the Great Barrier Reef, the Caribbean and the Belize Barrier Reef), and provide habitable and arable land for hundreds of thousands of people.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Subduction of Pacific plate under North American plate

There has been constant collision between the two plates, namely the Pacific plate and the Central American plate. As a result of which the <u>Pacific plate has got subducted</u> and <u>rate of subduction is very intense and fast</u> here because this lies in the region, commonly known as the "ring of fire".

Due to this subduction, the plates at great depth undergoes dehydration and partial melting occurs, that allows the magma to rise up to the surface forming volcanoes on the central America. There exist a huge number of volcanoes that includes cinder cone, composite as well as shield volcanoes.
