Answer:

C. Implement a biometric reader at the datacenter entrance and require passage through a mantrap.

Explanation:

The first step this installation should do is to limit access to only authorized persons. The safest way to do this is to use a biometric reader at the datacenter entrance, so in addition to just entering authorized persons, it would be possible to verify each individual's identity before allowing access to the server room and datacenter. The facility should also use a mantrap to separate safe areas from unsafe areas, so it can also limit access to the facility and decrease the chances of users tailgate behind other uses.

Which of the following is important in accumulating and removing sand that result in shifting barrier islands?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

D. Longshore currents

Explanation:

Longshore currents are characterized as the sediment transport that occurs in the surf zone, due to the oblique incidence of the waves, along the beach. A current develops between the beach and the surf zone parallel to the coast, normally between 0.3 and 1 m / s. It is this process that is responsible for accumulating and removing sand that results in displacement of barrier islands.
