Geography

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.

Which type of plate boundary does the image show?
IceJOKER [234]

The image shows the Convergent plate boundary.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Convergent boundaries occur wherever the Earth’s tectonic plates move or collide toward each other. As the plates converge, the denser, thinner tectonic plate sub-ducts or dives beneath the lighter, thicker, more buoyant tectonic plate.

As shown in the picture, the plates are composed of rigid lithosphere consisting of the crust of the earth and the uppermost mantle. Movement of the plates is driven by convection in the asthenosphere and lower mantle, which are softer and warmer than the lithosphere and can flow on geologic timescales. Convection is fuelled by heat generated from  radioactive decay of elements in the Earth.

I can give you one:
One of the theories (in which i mostly believe in) is the one when every period of time, the climate changes. Now, we are in the warmth period, but after this period, there will be a cooler climate, and keeps repeating every while (think about the ice age)

Answer: 8

If EF is a line perpendicular to  AB, then it forms four (90 degrees) angles intersecting AB. If AB is parallel to CD, and EF also intersects CD, then it form another four (90 degrees angles again. Total 90 degrees angles formed is 8.
