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!

Answer:

at 4 p.m Baghdad located at 45°E

at 8p.m Indonesia is located at x°

we have

common difference in time =8p.m-4p.m=4hours =4×60min

again

we have

4min=1°

4×60min=4×60/4=60°

since time is in p.m on both so they lie in same direction

Therefore, longitude of Indonesia=60°E.

hope this helps you. thanks

Examining sedimentary bedding (layers of rock or sediment) in a geologic study reveals disrupted layers formed 260, 820, 1,200,
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

510

Explanation:

Recurrence interval involves the average estimated time or average spacing between events. It helps to estimate the time probability of an event taking place.

Calculating the recurrence interval we have:

[(820 - 260) + (1200 - 820) + (2100 - 1200) + (2300 - 2100)] / 4

= (560 + 380 + 900 + 200) / 4

= 2040/4 = 510

After the calculations, the recurrence interval of the earthquake that caused the disruption is 510 years.

By what processes can a volcanic eruption affect temperature around the world
Nookie1986 [14]
World-wide affects of volcanic eruptions only happens when there are large explosive eruptions that throw material into the stratosphere. If it only gets into the troposphere it gets flushed out by rain. 
<span>the size of the particles (again mostly droplets of sulfuric acid) If they are big then they let sunlight in but don’t let heat radiated from the Earth’s surface out, and the net result is a warmer Earth (the famous Greenhouse effect). If the particles are smaller than about 2 microns then they block some of the incoming energy from the Sun and the Earth cools off a little. That seems to have been the effect of the Pinatubo eruption where about a 1/2 degree of cooling was noticed around the world. Of course that doesn’t just mean that things are cooler, but there are all kinds of effects on the wind circulation and where storms occur. </span>
<span>even more controversial connection involves whether or not volcanic activity on the East Pacific Rise (a mid-ocean spreading center) can cause warmer water at the surface of the East Pacific, and in that way generate an El Nino. Dr. Dan Walker here at the University of Hawai’i has noticed a strong correlation between seismic activity on the East Pacific Rise (which he presumes indicates an eruption) and El Nino cycles over the past ~25 years. </span>
<span>volcanism produces about 5X10^11 kg of CO2 per year about 3% of the total CO2 with the other 97% produced by humans. </span>
<span>hence, volcano have more affect on weather near area it erupts.</span>
