Answer:
here is your answer
Explanation:
Every harbor in the world forms an indent with its coastline. (One cannot dock a ship on the sea like parking a car on the road. Not for a long time.)
A natural harbor is surrounded by land on several sides…like Sydney or Vishakapatnam in India. It is also deep thus making it worthy for anchoring.
Indented Coastlines are those that aren’t smooth and have cuts or indents along its length thereby leading to the formation of inland waterways and creeks.
The coast line of the Atlantic ocean has such an indented pattern thus making it suitable for natural harbors. These indents are also deep. And hence we have a ‘geographical advantage’ and human are making use of it.
Constructing an artificial harbor isn’t easy. Dredging and maintenance alone might consume a lot of time and other resources especially money !!
Simply put, the indentation required for a harbor along with deep waters and the possibility of connection to inland waterways make the indented coastlines suitable for natural harbors.
