Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-Homes destroyed

-Fallen trees and power poles

-Power outages

-Uninhabitable area

Explanation:

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed, which is useful to estimates the potential property damage. From category 3 and higher, we consider them major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage.

Category 4 (209-251 km/h) and category (252 km/h or higher) hurricanes can cause catastrophic damages, <em>these include high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed (total roof failure and wall collapse), fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas, power outages that last for weeks to months and most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Contrast the physical features of the high and low islands of the Pacific. Why would geographers separate the Pacific
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The high islands of the Pacific were formed by seismic activity whereas the low islands of the Pacific were formed by coral growth. Continental islands and oceanic islands were formed by volcanic activity.

High islands often have fertile soils and lush rainforests. In contrast, low islands are often less fertile than high islands. Some low islands lack freshwater sources.
