Answer:

By correct territorial planning including natural hazards prevention and international accords regarding mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

Explanation:

Natural hazards cant be controlled, we cannot know for sure when an earthquake will occur and an eruption cannot be stopped, but there are still things societies can do to prepare and increase the resilience towards this kind of riks.

Trough territorial planning (if done correctly) societies can prepare well, for example, a city located at a high-risk zone of volcano eruption can set an alarm system to alert citizens to when it would be safe to leave the area. A seismic center can be installed to study the tectonic activity and establish high-risk zones.

Regarding climate change, there needs to be an integration of the different countries to the international accords toward climate change so that natural hazards can be mitigated no only locally but globally.

If done correctly estates can receive the impact of a natural hazard and still function correctly. Making high amounts of preparations and funding natural risk mitigation is justified if we look back at past catastrophes such as Katrina Hurricane or Haiti Earthquake and quantify the damage done.

What happens to lava after it erupts from a volcano.

LuckyWell [14K]

When a volcano erupts, the molten rock (or magma) that comes out of the Earth is called lava. Because lava is so hot (more than 1,100 degrees C, over 2,000 degrees F), it remains molten and flows across the ground until it cools and hardens into rock.

Lucinda has 9 ounces of flour. A batch of cupcakes requires 1/3 ounce of flour. A batch of muffins requires 1/4 ounce of flour.

NeX [460]

Answer:

9 more muffins

Explanation:

Lucinda has 9 ounces of flour.

To make a cupcake she requires 1/3 ounce of flour, therefore the number of cupcakes she can make from 9 ounces of flour can be given by:

(1/3)x = 9 where x is the number of cupcakes.

Therefore, x = 9 × 3 = 27 cupcakes

To make a muffin she requires 1/4 ounce of flour, therefore the number of muffins she can make from 9 ounces of flour can be given by:

(1/4)y = 9 where y is the number of muffins.

Therefore, y = 9 × 4 = 36 muffins

The number of more muffins she can make more than cupcakes from her flour = 36 - 27 = 9 more muffins
