The appropriate answer is B. Chains of volcanoes along ocean coastlines. The theory of plate tectonics states that the earth's crust is divided into plates that float on the semi-molten mantle below. Plates can converge, diverge or slide past each other. Chains of volcanoes along coastlines are evidence of plates converging with one plate subducting beneath the other. The subducting plate will melt producing magma which is lighter than surrounding rock and so will force its way through cracks and fissures in the surface. Once magma reaches the earth's surface, volcanoes are formed.

Define/ Describe "Tidal Bore. How does it apply to the Chesapeake Bay?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A tidal bore is a rare natural phenomenon in which an incoming tide creates a wave of water that travels up along a river or a narrow bay causing water to flow against the river's current. Tidal bores occur in relatively few locations worldwide.

Tidal level in the Chesapeake Bay is not affected by moon phases. During the full and new moons, the high tidal level should be the highest. During 1st and 3rd quarter moons, the high tides should be the lowest.
