Answer:

strong, long duration winds in a large fetch weak

Explanation:

A fetch is an area of the ocean or sea where wind blows in a fixed direction, this consistent wind leads to waves.

Fetch length is the distance reached by the wave generating winds when measured in from a horizontal direction. The wind creates wave by forming a drag and a frictional drag, the wind the flow over the wave making it grow. Therefore, a strong, long duration winds in a moderate fetch or weak fetch will produce largest waves.

The broad, slightly dome-shaped volcanoes of hawaii are
Umnica [9.8K]

The correct answer is - d. shield volcanoes.

The Hawaiian volcanoes are volcanoes that fall into the category of the shield volcanoes. They are slightly dome shaped volcanoes, spread out over a very large area, are not steep, and are volcanoes that tend to not have explosive eruptions as their magma is usually high in silica content.

The volcanoes on Hawaii are volcanoes that have formed over a hot spot, which means that they are not formed at the boundary of the tectonic plates, but instead, they are formed in the middle of the plate.

Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are actually the biggest volcanoes in the world in the present day.

What was the impact of thefukushima nuclear accident on global attitudes towards nuclear energy?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The F u k u s h i m a nuclear accident gave ''wind in the back'' to the opponents of the production of nuclear energy because of the dangers from it.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is produced via nuclear reactors. They are very expensive to be constructed and maintained, but the expenses are balanced very quickly because the nuclear reactors produce much more energy than any other type of facility for this purpose. It is also the cleanest and most environmentally friendly from any major type of production of energy.

Unfortunately, the production of nuclear energy doesn't come without risks. Even though very rare, accidents do happen, and when they do they cause much more damage than any other facilities for the production of energy. A more recent example is the accident in F u k u s h i m a, Japan, which resulted in a large-scale movement of people out of the area, abandoning of everything in the surroundings, and the area will not be suitable for usage for a very, very long time because of the very high levels of radiation. The opponents of nuclear energy production used this accident to make a point, especially cause it was one that happened in one of the most advanced countries, and what kind of consequences it had there, let alone if it happened in other parts of the world.
