Answer:

Island of Midway was established as a Naval base and remained prominent in the U.S. military due to its strategic location in the Pacific Ocean

Explanation:

Following World War II, the Island of Midway was established as a Naval base and remained prominent in the U.S. military due to its strategic location in the Pacific Ocean. By the late 1950's, the island became host to radar aircraft and crews that were a part of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) system.

The name Midway dates from the islands' formal annexation by the United States in 1867. ... In 1940 the U.S. Navy began work on an air and submarine base there. During World War II the atoll became an important strategic objective for the Japanese.

Identify three ways boundaries are created and provide a specific example of each one. (Physical boundaries NOT tectonic plates)
charle [14.2K]

There are multiple types of boundaries, all of them being set by the humans, some following some natural features, some not. Some of the types of boundaries are the natural boundaries, geometric boundaries, and maritime boundaries.

The natural boundaries are set long a natural feature, like a river or a mountain chain. Examples of this type of boundaries are the boundaries between the USA and Mexico along the Rio Grande river, or the border between Macedonia and Greece along the Kozhuf and Nidze mountain ranges.

The geometric boundaries are usually set in places that are very sparsely populated, mostly in desert areas. We can see this type of boundary between Libya and Algeria.

The maritime boundaries are boundaries set on ocean/sea waters between an island nation and continental nation, or between two island nations. An example of this type of boundary is the maritime boundary between Japan and South Korea in the Japanese Sea.
