Answer:

Convergent and divergent plate boundaries

Explanation:

In a convergent plate boundary, two plates move towards each other. Due to the impact, the heavier tectonic plate subducts beneath the lighter plate. This results in the formation of a subduction zone, and there forms a trench above this zone. The rocks at greater depths, melts and mixes up with the magma and eventually rises upward, towards the surface in the over-riding plate, giving rise to the formation of volcanoes and volcanic arcs.

In a divergent plate boundary, two plates move away from one another. Due to this opposite motion of plates, there occur cracks on the seafloor and land areas, from where the magma comes out. With continuous spreading, there forms a ridge, which is commonly known as the mid-oceanic ridge. This type of plate boundary is responsible for the formation and expansion of the ocean basin. For example, the mid-Atlantic ridge.

Grace [21]

Answer:

The coast is a climate on its own.

Explanation:

If there is a comparison between a location with a coast near it, there will always be a climate difference. If the coast happens to be thee Pacific Coast, it is typically colder and more wet due to a lot more rain than more inland cities, but since the Pacific Ocean is colder than the Atlantic, it is not as muggy and humid as the East Coast.

If the coastal town is on the Atlantic Ocean Coastline, it will be more humid, where the air feels heavy and it will be hotter in general due to the heat from the Atlantic Ocean.
