Answer:

In a situation in which You land your inflatable boat on a sandbar at high tide in Southeast Alaska, which has a large semi-diurnal tide. You intend to be away from the boat for 12 hours but come back early after only 8 hours. Your boat is, unfortunately, 400m from shore.

You  will have to wait B) 4 hours and 25 minutes to be able to use your boat

Explanation:

The reason behind this is that the water movement makes objects floating in its surface move at a certain rhythm. Generally, this measure is variable but after having the data of 400 m movement in 8 hours. We just have to divide to find out the speed at which the water moves the objects on its surface. We divide 400 between the 8 hours to obtain. 50 meters of distance advance in a single hour. Therefore in 4 hours and 25 minutes, it will be at the correct distance to be reached out and used.

How hove volcanoes played a role in the formation of land above or below the water?
cluponka [151]
Volcanoes play an important role in creating land since they are the sources of magma, which once above ground normally cools to create new land. In the ocean, this land normally forms at divergent and convergent boundaries or hot spots. At divergent boundaries (where two plates move apart), magma constantly erupts along a trench deep below the ocean's surface. This magma rarely piles upward and instead is pushed to both sides of the trench. This is how new seafloor forms. Convergent boundaries can create island arcs like Indonesia as magma erupts bit by bit. Hot spots occur in the middle of plates. They are instances where the mantle pierces through the crust and begins to erupt directly onto to seafloor. Over time, these eruptions will pile up and create underwater volcanoes until they potentially make it above sea level, thereby forming an island. This is how Hawaii was and continues to be formed.
