Answer:

The boundary is between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.

Explanation:

The boundary that is marked with the arrow is the one between the African tectonic plate and the Eurasian tectonic plate. Both of these plates are continental plates, bearing the two largest continents on Earth. The African Plate and the Eurasian Plate collide thus they have a convergent boundary.

This convergent boundary is very complex, as it is not just the interaction between the two plates, but on both sides, there are hundreds of miniature polygonal pieces of crust, intersected on all sides, and they are highly active. The African Plate is moving toward the northeast, while the Eurasian Plate is moving toward the southeast. Because of the interaction between these two plates, there are numerous mountain ranges, some large, some smaller, close to their boundary, and the area is tectonically highly active, with multiple active volcanoes and a lot of earthquakes.

Answer:

Answer are written below:

Explanation:

1) It is very important to have a universal method established to guide archaeological excavations because you have to planned out everything in order to find a method or a way to work through the study.

2)  Understanding our past is important to our future because studying history enables us to understand the world better and the past gives us courage and protects us from harm.

3) It would be more challenging to be a prehistoric archaeologist as compared to historical archaeologist because historic archaeology is easier to study due to the presence in written form whereas  Prehistoric archaeology is very difficult to study due to no written records are present.

4) I will work as an academic archaeologist as compared to cultural resource management (CRM) archaeologist because academic archaeologists are active researchers in their field which also published their work in the books, journals, and popular publications.
