A reef is a ridge of a rock of any type of land that extends some distance just under the surface of the water. A coral reef is a lot of calcium carbonate that is also made up of living creatures. A coral reef is created when a small amount of dead coral turns into calcium carbonate. This process is very slow. The famous reefs are the Great barrier Reef of Austria and Belize and Cayman Islands.
Wave actions are usually not a problem due to hard coral reefs. The reef reduces a wave energy. But sometimes waves can break off or flatten large portions of coral reefs, forming grooves in once circular reef. The higher areas between the grooves are known as buttresses and may grow together at the top producing arches.
Answer: Landform that develops on coral reefs as a result of wave action are Arches.

Tanzania [10]

Answer: b) skraplanie

Explanation:

As part of the hydrological cycle, water is evaporated off of the surface of the earth and turns into the gaseous form of water which is water vapor. With temperatures getting colder as you go higher, the water vapor will begin to condense into water droplets in the process called Condensation.

As this happens, the water droplets will come together and begin to form clouds. This will continue till the cloud gets too heavy for the capacity of the atmosphere and will then fall as rain.
