Answer:

perimeter/drainage divide

Explanation:

The drainage basin of a stream represent an area of land from which the water is flowing toward the stream. This area has its own natural boundaries, which are usually highlands that alleviate themselves from the three sides relative to the stream which is located in the lowest part of the area.

The boundaries are represented with highland usually, as mentioned, running along ridges, mountains or hills. The water that falls into the naturally enclosed area all flows down toward a single stream directly, or to several streams, and than into the largest, central stream in the drainage basin.

Some of the drainage basins are very small, only occupying few square km, while some are enormous are larger that the majority of the countries in the world.

What was the impact of thefukushima nuclear accident on global attitudes towards nuclear energy?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The F u k u s h i m a nuclear accident gave ''wind in the back'' to the opponents of the production of nuclear energy because of the dangers from it.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is produced via nuclear reactors. They are very expensive to be constructed and maintained, but the expenses are balanced very quickly because the nuclear reactors produce much more energy than any other type of facility for this purpose. It is also the cleanest and most environmentally friendly from any major type of production of energy.

Unfortunately, the production of nuclear energy doesn't come without risks. Even though very rare, accidents do happen, and when they do they cause much more damage than any other facilities for the production of energy. A more recent example is the accident in F u k u s h i m a, Japan, which resulted in a large-scale movement of people out of the area, abandoning of everything in the surroundings, and the area will not be suitable for usage for a very, very long time because of the very high levels of radiation. The opponents of nuclear energy production used this accident to make a point, especially cause it was one that happened in one of the most advanced countries, and what kind of consequences it had there, let alone if it happened in other parts of the world.

Explanation:

Gentrification is the process of remodeling a neighborhood, street or building to increase its value and attract a population of a higher social status.

This process is highly controversial since the current inhabitants of the area usually cannot bear the costs of continuing to live in the same neighborhood and must move. Residents are sometimes forcibly evicted before remodeling.

A magnitude-3.0 earthquake releases just over _____ times more energy than a 1.0 magnitude earthquake.
NNADVOKAT [17]
The difference between the two mentioned magnitudes is 4.
A magnitude 1 earth-quack is 10000 times bigger than a magnitude -3 earth-quack. On the other hand, it is 1000000 times stronger in terms of energy release.

Note: To calculate the difference in energy between two earth-quacks, first you calculate the difference between their magnitudes and then you raise 10 to the output you obtain.
