Answer:

Glaciation has carved out narrow sea inlets between rocky cliffs in Scandinavia and on Norway’s coasts. These inlets are called  fjords.

Fjord is a landform that is a deep, narrow and elongated sea or lake with steep land on three sides. The opening to the sea is called the mouth of the fjord and is often shallow. The innermost part of the fjord is called the fjord bottom. If the oat is wider than it is long, it is a bay.

Most of the fjords are of tectonic origin and arose when there was a sharp and sudden change in the direction of movement of the tectonic plates. As a result of this, at the edges of plates already compressed by preliminary oncoming motion, numerous cracks and faults form, which are filled with sea water. In this case, the fjord can have a significant depth, up to 800 or more meters, and sometimes more than a kilometer.

A certain location experiences a severe hurricane. Which of the following will most likely happen in the location?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Increase in number of people displaced from their homes.

Explanation:

Hurricanes bring strong winds, heavy rain, and the threat of flooding or storm surge. During a hurricane, the wind speeds increase dramatically, and the hurricanes can even spawn tornadoes.

Soil erosion is not decreased, but rather increased drastically and entire beaches are often swept away by the winds and rains. If anything, air pollution over the urban area hit by the hurricane would be temporarily cleaned up by the storms.

Which type of reef forms very closel to the shoreline of a volcanic island
ra1l [238]
They are called fringing reefs. They grow directly from shore and form borders along the shoreline. When a fringing reef continues to grow upward from a volcanic island that has sunk entirely below the sea level, an atoll is formed. Atolls are usually circular or oval in shape, with an open lagoon in the center. The fringing reef is the most common type of coral reef. They however tend to be very sensitive to human induced pollution in the water and are easily destroyed by such.
