<u>Answer:</u>

The three large peninsulas extending off of Europe are the Iberian Peninsula, Italian Peninsula, and the Balkan Peninsula.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The Europe continent is a 'peninsula of peninsulas'. Which means a bigger piece of land covered by 'water on three sides' and is constituted by smaller pieces of land which are also covered by 'water on three sides'.
  • It is a peninsular landmass that is made up of other subsidiary peninsulas stretching out of the main peninsula.
  • The European continent is covered by water on three sides both on the northern front and the southern front.
  • It is covered by water on almost all the sides but is still connected to a larger piece of land.
  • The three of the major peninsulas in Europe are the 'Iberian Peninsula', 'the Balkan Peninsula' and 'the Italian Peninsula' which are all on the southern side of the European continent.

The blocking off of an estuary from the sea forms a(n)
sesenic [268]

The correct answer is - lagoon.

When rivers and streams that have lower water volume throughout the whole year come in touch with the ocean, under the influence of the ocean's wave and ocean currents along the coast, sandbars and barrier islands start to form around the estuary. As they form and little by little grow in size, they manage to create a closed space with calm shallow water between the estuary itself and the ocean, thus creating a lagoon.

A. If it is 8:00 a.m. in the Bay of Fundy, what time is it in Sydney ,Australia?
Alja [10]

Answer:

A. A2. 10:00 p.m

B. B1. 7:00 a.m

C. C1. 4:00 a.m.

Explanation:

A. Time zone of Bay of Fundy is currently -3 GMT while that of Sydney is +11 GMT.

This means that Bay of Fundy is:

= 11 - (-3)

= 14 hours behind Sydney.

8 am in Bay of Fundi is:

= 8 + 14

= 22:00

= 10 pm in Sydney

B. Chicago is at -5 GMT and Hong Kong is at +8 GMT.

Chicago is:

= 8 - (-5)

= 8 + 5

= 13 hours behind Hong Kong.

8pm in Hong Kong is:

= 20:00 - 13 hours

= 0700

= 7 am in Chicago

C. Los Angeles is at -7 GMT and Moscow is at +3 GMT.

Moscow is:

= 3 - (-7)

= 10 hours ahead of Los Angeles

3 pm in Moscow is:

= 15:00 - 10 hours

= 0500

= 5 am in Los Angeles

This is probably different from options due to Daylight saving time. Pick closest option which is 4am.
