Answer:

Tectonic estuaries occur where the Earth's tectonic plates run into or fold up underneath each other, creating depressions. Fjords are steep-walled river valleys created by advancing glaciers, which later became flooded with seawater as the glaciers retreated.

Answer:

Coastal Plain: A coastal plain is a flat, low-lying piece of land next to the ocean. Coastal plains are separated from the rest of the interior by nearby landforms, such as mountains

Tectonic: relating to the structure of the earth's crust and the large-scale processes which take place within it.

Bar-Built: Bar-built or restricted-mouth, estuaries occur when sandbars or barrier islands are built up by ocean waves and currents along coastal areas fed by one or more rivers or streams

Fjord: a long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between high cliffs, as in Norway and Iceland, typically formed by submergence of a glaciated valley.

Step-by-step explanation:

Try your best to summarize.
