This statement is not true.

The Fujita or Fujita-Pearson scale is used to measure the intensity of tornadoes. It takes into account the degree of destruction caused by the tornado in structures built by men. The different Fujita levels are shown in the table attached.

On the other hand, the intensity of hurricanes is measured using the Saffir-Simpson scale, which clasifies them from level 1 (the lowest) to level 5 (the highest) depending on the strenght of the winds.

What factors contributed to the rise of nationalism in the 1810s?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

The French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars unleashed a wave of modernist, liberal, nationalist sentiment throughout Europe.

Explanation:

Before Napoleon and the French Revolution, many Europeans lived in states that did not reflect their ethnic boundaries. There was no German state, nor was there an Italian or Polish state. The Habsburg Empire contained Austrians, Hungarians, Poles, Czechs, Italians, Croats, Slovenes, and others. Italians were scattered across a collection of states, some large, such as Venice, Savoy, the Two Sicilies, and the Papal States, others smaller. There were hundreds of small German principalities, along with larger states such as Prussia, Hanover, Saxony, Baden, Hesse, Bavaria and Wurttemberg.

Napoleon re-organized borders around, in part along ethnic lines. By doing so, he acknowledged the rights of people to, if not rule themselves, be considered a Nation as such.

Despite being ultimately defeated, his actions in Europe ultimately (among other things of course) led to the contemporary Europe we know today.

Generally speaking, motivation arises inside people as a consequence of: a. pain avoidance and unmet needs b. intentions and cog

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Generally speaking, motivation arises inside people as a consequence of: a. pain avoidance and unmet needs.

Explanation:

<u>The basic reasons behind motivation are quite primitive. We are motivated to do or not to do something when we want to meet our needs or when we wish to avoid pain. Therefore, we can think of motivation as the experience of desire and aversion. However, since we are complex beings, we should not think of the latter - aversion, pain avoidance - in a literal way. Pain may come in may forms.</u> When we know someone will give us a hard time if we do not take out the trash, we may very well feel motivated to do it. It is not physical pain, but it's pain nonetheless. On the other hand, we may feel the need to be praised and acknowledged. Thus, we take out the trash not to avoid, but to receive something instead, to meet that need. We hope the other person will compliment us for doing it.
