Analyze the map below and answer the question that follows. A satellite map of Southeast Asia. Two bodies of water on the map are labeled A and B. A is between China and Vietnam. B is between Malaysia and Cambodia. Image courtesy of NASA The letters A and B on the map above mark two bodies of water that surround the Indochinese Peninsula in Southeast Asia. What bodies of water are they? A. the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean B. the Gulf of Tonkin and the Gulf of Thailand C. the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Tonkin D. the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

The body of water labeled A is the Gulf of Tonkin. This body of water leans on the coast of northern Vietnam and Southern China. The original Vietnamese and Chinese name both mean "Northern Bay"

Depending on where exactly the label B is, we can say the name of the second body of water.

The Gulf of Thailand only goes until the Malaysian city of Kota Bharu, and not below. If the label B is in the line of Kota Bharu, at the very beginning of the western part of Malaysia, and near to the coast of Cambodia and Thailand the answer will be

If the label is more below and nearer to the water between Vietnam and Malaysia than to the place between the coast of Cambodia and Thailand, the answer will be

This is because the Gulf of Thailand is actually the western part of the Pacific Ocean and only goes geographically until Kota Bharu - it is much more between Cambodia and Thailand. The Pacific Ocean, however, it a large body of water that spread throughout all this part of Southeast Asia.
