Hazard RiskThe chance that a natural hazard may take place.Natural HazardAny natural process that is a potential threat to human life and propertyConservative Plate MarginsOccurs when plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or in the same direction but at different speeds and often results in an earthquake.Constructive Plate MarginsWhere two plates are moving away from each other.Destructive Plate MarginsWhere two plates are moving towards each other.EarthquakeA sudden or violent movement within the Earth's crust followed by a series of shocks.Immediate ResponsesHow people react as the disaster happens and in the immediate aftermathLong Term ResponsesLater reactions that occur in the weeks, months and years after the eventMonitoringRecording physical changes, such as earthquake tremors around a volcano, to help forecast when and where a natural hazard might strike.Plate MarginThe margin or boundary between two tectonic plates.PlanningActions taken to allow communities to respond to natural disasters, through emergency evacuation plans, information management, communications and warning systems.PredictionAttempts to forecast when and where a natural hazard will strike, based on current knowledge.ProtectionActions taken before a hazard strikes to reduce its impact, such as educating people or improving building design.Primary EffectsThe initial impact of a natural event on people and property, caused directly by it.Secondary EffectsThe after-effects that occur as indirect impacts of a natural event, sometimes on a longer timescale.Tectonic HazardA natural hazard caused by movement of tectonic plates.Tectonic PlateHuge pieces of Earth's crust that cover its surface and fit together at their edges.VolcanoAn opening in the Earth's crust from which lava, ash and gases erupt.TsunamisLarge ocean waves caused by an underwater earthquake.Richter ScaleA scale that measures the largest ground movement that occurs during an earthquake.MagmaLiquid rock below the Earth's surface.AftershocksSmaller tremors occurring after an earthquake.LiquefactionThe loss of strength that can occur in the ground during earthquake shaking.RetrofittingThe addition of new technology to older buildings.Appropriate TechnologyTechnology designed with consideration of the community it is intended for.EpicenterThe point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquakeBuilding CodeRegulations which state how a building should be constructed in order for it to be safe.Seismic ActivityMovement in the Earth's crust.Laser RangingUsing laser beams and mirrors to detect minute changes in the shape of the land.EvacuationMovement of people away from a place of danger to a place of safety.Storm SurgeAbnormal rise of the sea along a shore as the result of a storm.Physical EffectsThose affecting natural and built materials.

How did geographic features influence the Louisiana purchase and the monroe doctrine?
AysviL [449]
Louis and Clark found the discoveries of the west staggering. They saw that the land was stable for future agriculture, and contained many mineral deposits. Seeing that the land was economically stable, they found the purchase to be a great deal. This lead to the Louisiana Purchase. Honestly (this is just my opinion), I don't think that geography had an impact on the Monroe doctrine , but the Monroe doctrine had an impact on those who settled since it
asserted that the Americas were not to be further colonized by European countries but that the United States would neither interfere with existing European colonies nor meddle in the internal concerns of European countries.

The earth axis tilted at 23½ what are the effects of this tilt​
Over [174]

Answer:

Obliquity (change in axial tilt)

Explanation:

As the axial tilt increases, the seasonal contrast increases so that winters are colder and summers are warmer in both hemispheres. Today, the Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the sun.

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.
Andru [333]

Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

since it is an isosceles triangle, line x splits the base into 2 equal parts.

using a smaller triangle we know the sides are 5,3,x

now use Pythagorean theorem

5=\sqrt{x^{2} +3^{2} }

x=\sqrt{5^{2}-3^{2}  }

x = \sqrt{16}

x = 4, -4

since length cannot be negative, x = 4
