the conversion of radiant energy into "hidden" form through the process of evaporation.
Explanation:
Latent heat is the heat which is stored in the molecular motion of any substance when it changes its state, Like from solid to liquid, solid to gas or liquid to gas. It is also known as hidden heat.
Example: when water changes its state from water to water vapor, water absorbs energy from the environment. This energy is stored in the molecular movement of water molecules.
On earth, latent heat is transferred when there is evaporation of water from moist land surface or any water body. This causes transfer of heat from earth surface to atmosphere.
Bases on the above definition of latent heat option B is the correct one.
There are four phases in the disaster risk management like Mitigation and prevention and preparedness in pre-disaster stages. Response and recovery rehabilitation and reconstruction in the post-disaster stage.
A hazard may be characterized by many names like floods, landslides, and earthquakes, etc, they cause harm to vulnerable targets. The term hazard and risk are often associated with each other.
While the concept of vulnerability is related to the weakness or the things that are prone to attacks like the property or any area. As natural hazards are defined by the extremities in the physical environment there are man-made hazards like the biohazards that posses a serious risk to others and in turn, become a disastrous event.
Thus the more vulnerable a property is to disaster the more the chance of rick it posses and the more ca of it becoming a disaster shortly.
