It has to be True. Hawaii is one of the two states that are away from the continental US but the only state that has islands. If you think about it most of the islands almost all of the islands have active volcanoes which could be a huge risk for the people that are living / visiting Hawaii. Hawaii may sound a nice, relaxing place to get away from crowds but there are other things to look out for in Hawaii

Answer:

<u>True</u>.

Explanation:

  • As the volcanic islands of Hawaii are still considered to be in an active zone, as the Hawaiian islands are believed to be formed on the hotspot of eruptions ie. the active plate boundaries from below the surface these tend to move westwards direction from the main island of Hawaii.
  • As we go from east to west the chain of rocks gets older and then forms a ring-shaped pattern hence called the ring of fire. Thus there is a great risk of volcanic hazard as these are fault lines being associated with high magnitude tectonic earthquakes.
  • They can have a seriously damaging impact upon other islands as well and this considered to be highly hazardous. As various vents and mounds of volcanic nature lie within the oceans of the Pacific plate.

Are all forms of segregation negative? Is affinity segregation helpful or harmful to an ethnic group? Explain your position.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Segregation between races is wrong, but can sometimes be a good thing. Allow me to explain:

Explanation:

During the Jim Crow era a lot of white people would use hate speech and just be mean to African Americans all the time. By keeping them separate, African Americans wouldn’t be harassed by them. However there shouldn’t be segregation because people shouldn’t be practicing hate speech. Segregation wouldn’t be tackling the problem, it would be deflecting it.

Which best describes how storm water runoff pollutes Puget Sound?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Rain washes pollutants off streets and into storm drains, which drain into Puget Sound.

Explanation:

"Puget Sound" is a Pacific Ocean inlet that is located in Washington's northwestern coast. It is said that the name "Puget Sound" was given by George Vancouver in<em> 1792,</em> in honor of a lieutenant, Peter Puget, who was very helpful in guiding him through his expedition.

Puget Sound is home to many marine species, such as salmon, Pacific rods, harbor seals, Pacific herring and the like. However, some of these, like the <em>"Olympia oysters,"</em> have been depleted because of human activities. The recession of many species in this area has been increasing over time. It is said that the inlet was contaminated with radioactive water in 1978, when a submarine accidentally released the radioactive water into Puget Sounds.

Another reason for its buildup of pollution is through the <u>"storm water's run-off." </u>When a storm comes, it hits infrastructure's roofs and other surfaces or pollutants. The debris are carried into the drains by rain and are then drained further into Puget Sound.

The toxic chemicals that are carried primarily comes from the roofing materials or human's everyday products.
