1 answer:
Ivenika [448]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A. The ice has a high albedo.

Explanation:

Albedo is a measure of ‘whiteness’  or reflectivity which is also the rate at which a surface is able to reflect a percentage of solar radiation it receives. White surfaces have a higher albedo which is why Arctic and Antarctic regions with lots of ice sheets have a high albedo. They play a big role in regulating global temperatures. The larger the ice sheet cover in the antarctic and arctic regions, the more they reflect solar radiation back to space hence keeping the temperatures on earth from rising considerably.

Why does Brazil invest in healthcare, energy, and technology?
34kurt

Answer:

The correct response is Option B to attract higher paying jobs and industries to the country.

Explanation:

Brazil is investing in high tech and research-intensive industries like healthcare, energy, and technology in an effort to improve the level of talent and skills that are needed to encourage the creation of higher-paying jobs rather than low skilled work. In recent decades Brazil’s high-tech industry has not kept pace with the agribusiness sector for example which makes up a larger part of Brazil's GDP. An overvalued currency has also favored the importation of technological products from abroad and there was relatively little local investment in the high-tech industry.  Brazil is now concerned about promoting high-tech and high-skilled jobs so the situation improves for younger generations that are more technology-focused.

How are societies preparing for major risks and do you think that these preparations are sufficient and well justified?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

By correct territorial planning including natural hazards prevention and international accords regarding mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

Explanation:

Natural hazards cant be controlled, we cannot know for sure when an earthquake will occur and an eruption cannot be stopped, but there are still things societies can do to prepare and increase the resilience towards this kind of riks.

Trough territorial planning (if done correctly) societies can prepare well, for example, a city located at a high-risk zone of volcano eruption can set an alarm system to alert citizens to when it would be safe to leave the area. A seismic center can be installed to study the tectonic activity and establish high-risk zones.

Regarding climate change, there needs to be an integration of the different countries to the international accords toward climate change so that natural hazards can be mitigated no only locally but globally.

If done correctly estates can receive the impact of a natural hazard and still function correctly. Making high amounts of preparations and funding natural risk mitigation is justified if we look back at past catastrophes such as Katrina Hurricane or Haiti Earthquake and quantify the damage done.
