There are different geological features in those places.

For example, the reason why earthquakes happen so much in Japan, is because of the fault line, where two plates meet. If those two plates slide with each other, they cause earthquakes. Earthquakes then can cause tsunamis. Volcanoes also are commonly found at plate boundaries, because of all the magma activity in those areas.

Another example is with the tornadoes and the midwestern US, otherwise known as Tornado Alley. Tornadoes form when cold, dry air and warm, moist air hit. There are many tornadoes in Tornado Alley because Canada brings cold, dry air and the Gulf of Mexico, warm moist air.

Last example: Hurricanes normally form around the equator, over oceans, because they run on warm water. This is why they often hit the south east of the US and the areas around there. They slowly die off when heading to colder areas, (heading more north or more south). They also die off when heading to areas over land, because they don't have that warm water as fuel.

I'd say location. Think about it, does a flood occur in the desert? No!

Also, geological features such as plate boundaries. Lava comes out of a volcano that can ONLY form at a convergent boundary. And yes, hurricanes supply on water(warm water) not land and not quite cold water.

I believe the answer is: high approach motivated

People with high approach motivation tend to be really curious, and would always go out of their way to fill up their schedule.
They are much more likely to stay committed in pursuing their interest, but they often possess narrow attention and might ignore everything that does not attract their interest

What was the effect of the twenty-sixth amendment that enfranchised 18-to-20-year-olds?
k0ka [10]

The Twenty-sixth Amendment that enfranchised 18-to-20-year -olds led to reduction in the national voter turnout rate.

The Twenty-sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States extended voting rights to citizens between the ages of 18 and 20. Earlier, the voting age was set at 21 and above.

The call to reduce the voting age became particularly salient after the Vietnam War. Young men between the age of 18 and 21 were drafted into the armed forces or to support military operations. After the war, proponents of extending voting rights coined the slogan “old enough to fight, old enough to vote”.

The result of lowering the voting age was that the national voter turnout rate declined.
