Answer: Bays are thought to be formed by plate tectonic activity and erosion of coastline.

Explanation:

A body of water irregularly surrounded by land is known as a bay. And it is quite different from a gulf.

A bay is formed this way:

• when there is an erosion of the coastline into a large body of water. E.g Guanabara Bay.

• in pre-historic era, during active plate tectonic activity where continents drifts together and as they rift apart, there is the fomation of many large bays. E.g Bengal Bay.

To promote the growth of vegetation, Aborigines __________.
castortr0y [4]
A. Used fire to do controlled burns

The result of  controlled burns were highly beneficial to both the Aborigines and the environment. The burnt remains of the burns were very fertile and encouraged the growth of new vegetation that would not have been able to flourish if the older growth had not been removed. The removal of old vegetation also resulted in a low chance of wild fires. Further more new vegetation was able to attract wildlife to graze, making hunting easier. 

The concept of controlled burns is still used today and was/is also practiced by First Nations in North America.
