Answer:

B) What is the temperature of the seawater near the coastal areas?

D) At what rate is the sea level expected to rise in the next 100 years?

E) Which coastal towns face the greatest risk of flooding because of the rising sea level?.

Explanation:

  • Looking at the data given by NASA on the rise of sea levels there is a marked rise in the level from 2001 onwards and is growing at an increasing rate.  
  • Based on the data gathered it's essential to understand how this would affect the world, as the rise in temperature affects the sea waters near the coastal regions and as result on the basis of the rate of melting of the ice and glaciers this level is going to be doubled in the near future.
  • Also the need to estimate the data of the places which will be most affected by the rise of floods and the great tropical disturbances.

There are some important parameters in such situations that need to be investigated. Things such as the speed of the phenomenon, the risks associated with it and the affected communities/sites are important.

A) The first choice regards the speed of the rising as well as the inherent risk in that, so it is TRUE.
B) The second choice is rather irrelevant to the problem of flooding; the temperature of the water is a parameter that does not affect the flooding, the risk etc. So it is FALSE.
C) Tourism is an important consideration but the first consideration should be the health of people and inquiring about tourism does not help avoid a natural disaster. So it is FALSE.
D) The rate of the rise is important to know for future planning and in order to help with current models. So it is TRUE.
E) The affected towns are an important parameter in minimizing the impact of a natural disaster and hence it is helpful. So it is TRUE.

People living in the Sahel region in countries such as the Sudan, Chad, and neighboring Ethiopia suffer from undernourishment, d
olganol [36]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Undernourishment

This is defined as being unable to take the required amount of food and nutrients for energy that the body needs per day. This has to have gone on for a year for it to be classified as Undernourishment.

Desertification

This refers to a situation where land that was once fertile looses that fertility and instead begins to become more desert like. This is very prevalant in the Sahel region of Africa and can be caused by droughts and inefficient farming practices.

Food Security

This is defined as the access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food at all times needed to be able to sustain the human body by meeting the minimum amount of recommended energy that the body requires to function.

The Sahel is an area immediately south of the Sahara Desert. It is semi-arid in nature and is prone to prolonged periods of drought.

When this drought occurs it tends to cause soil that was once fertile to begin to turn into a desert like soil due to the soil not getting water for such a prolonged period of time.

When there is a lot of fertile land used for farming lost to desertification then the people in those areas cannot farm and get food needed to survive. This causes Food Security issues because people do not have access to food that they require to survive.

Should this happen and the people there go through Food security crisis, they will become undernourished as they are unable to take the recommended amount of food necessary.

Humans have built artificial levees along the Mississippi River to protect themselves and their property from floods. However, t
Nikitich [7]

The correct answer is - A. reduce the amount of sediment deposited on floodplains and increase the amount of sediment deposited at the river's mouth.

The Mississippi River is one of the biggest rivers in the world. It is also a river that carries with it very large amount of sediments. The levees built along side it though do not allow the natural process of deposition of sediments on the floodplains of the river. That results in the river carrying the sediments down to the river mouth. Because of this, the river mouth is becoming an ever-growing delta because of the constant deposition of very large amounts of sediments. This also causes lot of the sediments to end in the coastal parts of the sea, which makes the sea waters shallower and murkier, as well as creating new land forms alongside the coast from the deposited material.

América se encuentra más lejos del polo norte que del polo sur. Lejos del polo norte que del polo sur. VERDADERO O FALSO
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Falso.

Explicación:

América está más lejos del Polo Sur que del Polo Norte porque América está ubicada en el hemisferio norte, que está más cerca del polo norte. América está presente en el lado norte del ecuador, mientras que el polo sur está ubicado en el sur del ecuador, lo que indica que América está más cerca del polo norte, mientras que más lejos del polo sur, por lo que la afirmación de la pregunta es falsa.
