What natural hazards are difficult for humans to adapt to? Why?

1 answer:

3 0

Natural Hazards can be described as dangerous occurrences that are a threat to human survival. These can include unforeseen sudden events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, Tsunamis and tornadoes. This can also include some slow-moving disasters e.g. droughts, climate change and even diseases.

All these events are difficult for humans to adapt to. Human bodies have not gone through an evolutionary process where we can coupe with such disasters.

In modern countries, some precautions have been developed e.g. dams to store water in times of drought or earth-quake proof buildings seen in Japan.

Generally, humans in poorer countries are more susceptible to natural hazards due to poor infrastructure.

Surface area using nets Check out this rectangular prism 2 1 1 1 . 3 . 1 1 4 3

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Given the length, width and height find the volume, surface area and diagonal of a rectangular prism

h, l and w are known; find V, S and d

V = lwh

S = 2(lw + lh + wh)

d = √(l2 + w2 + h2)

2. Given the surface area, length and width find the height, volume and diagonal of a rectangular prism

S, l and w are known; find h, V and d

h = (S - 2lw) / (2l + 2w)

V = lwh

d = √(l2 + w2 + h2)

3. Given the volume, length and width find the height, surface area, and diagonal of a rectangular prism

V, l and w are known; find h, S and d

h = V / lw

S = 2(lw + lh + wh)

d = √(l2 + w2 + h2)

4. Given the diagonal, length and width find the height, volume and surface area of a rectangular prism

d, l and w are known; find h, V and S

h = √(d2 - l2 - w2)

V = lwh

S = 2(lw + lh + wh)

The Florida Everglades have declined in size and suffered from pollution due to overpopulation. When runoff occurs, a dense grow

aleksandrvk [35]

I personally believe that the right answer is C. Other overpopulation results in more living organisms, and since the pollution has intoxicated the living, they die releasing the carbon into the soil. So there is high amounts of carbon and less of the organic compounds because the overdose on carbon.

Sorry for asking again, but starting from 500 A.D. what were some of the natural resources of Japan?

SSSSS [86.1K]

<span> Japan has significant coastal waters, which provide the country with fish and other seafood. However, the demand for fish is so high that it must be supplemented with imports from abroad. Although Japan has a small amount of arable land, the country has some of the highest crop yields in the world, producing over 60 percent of its own food each year. The country has adequate supplies of gold, silver, and magnesium, but it must import many of the minerals essential to its booming electronics industry, such as iron ore and copper.</span>

Scientists find trilobites during a routine dig. Trilobites were common in the Paleozoic Era (540 to 245 million years ago) and

Svetach [21]

<span>The rock layers must have formed at different times because they contain two different biozones. The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed before the one containing the ammonites. The key thing to note here is that the Trilobites only lived from 540 to 248 million years ago. And that the Ammonites were from 245 to 65 million years ago. So there's a 3 million year gap between these 2 different creatures where neither of them existed. So the dig where the trilobites were found has to be at least 3 million years older than the dig where the Ammonites were found. So with that in mind, let's look at the options and see what makes sense. The rock layers must have formed at the same time because they both contain biozones. * This is nonsense no matter what dates you're speaking of. In effect it claims that all rocks that indicate life were created at the same time. So this is definitely a bad choice. The rock layers must have formed at different times because they contain two different biozones. * This is technically incorrect since it assumes that all biozones represent an unique period of time which is incorrect. However, since the biozones represented by the presence of Trilobites and Ammonites don't overlap, it is true that these these rock layers were formed at different times. I would have preferred if this option said "non overlapping biozones". But on the balance, I'd consider this option to be true, so it should be selected. The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed before the one containing the ammonites. * This is definitely true since the last Trilobite died about 3 million years before the first Ammonite lived. So this is a correct choice. The rock layer containing the trilobites must have formed after the one containing the ammonites. * This is the opposite of the previous option. And since the previous option was true, this option must be false. So this is a bad choice.</span>
