A spit is a landform created by the deposition of sand by the movement of the tides.
<span>Spits are narrow and elongated – one end is attached to the mainland and the other is out in open water. A spit develops when waves meet the beach at an oblique angle, moving sediment down the beach and into the open waters where it is deposited in a narrow strip. As a spit grows, it might become stable and fertile and even support habitation.</span>

Scientists believe that earth and the other plants formed
topjm [15]

The correct answer is - from solar nebula.

The Earth and the other planets in the Solar System are thought to have formed from solar nebula. This solar nebula is believed to have been a left over from the Sun's formation, being consisted of gas and dust in a disc-shape. The material in this disc-shaped gas and dust started to merge gradually, thus little by little forming bigger and bigger objects, and as the objects were getting bigger they had bigger gravitational pull so more and more material was attracted toward them. Because of the very big gravitational pull of the Sun these objects were not able to wander into the space but were instead kept close to the Sun. Because of the orbiting around the Sun, they all started to take a rounded shape. Some planets as the Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury became terrestrial planets, while the likes of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune became gas giants.

Which plate boundary and movement commonly create volcanoes that can result in the development of habitable islands? Explain how
nasty-shy [4]
1:Plates move away from one another at divergent boundaries. This happens at mid-ocean ridges<span>. Plates move towards one another at convergent boundaries; one plate is forced below another in a process called subduction. 

2:</span><span>In areas where the </span>plates<span> come together, sometimes volcanoes </span>will<span> form. Volcanoes</span>can<span> also form in the middle of a </span>plate<span>, where magma rises upward until it erupts on the seafloor, at what is called a “hot spot.” The Hawaiian </span>Islands<span> were </span>formed<span> by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific </span>Plate<span>.

I hope this helps!</span>
