Geography

Fantom [35]3 years ago

The biggest problem with the creation of the polders that are below the sea level is the flooding of the same.

Even though the polders are made very carefully, everything is well planned, and all the required measures of long term safety of them are put in action, still there's always the concern of flooding hanging around. Because the polders are bellow the sea level, if by some chance the sea manages to penetrate in them, probably after some natural disaster, than the whole polder will be filled with water and become one huge pool, and because of this water everything in it will be destroyed in just a matter of minutes, thus lots of human lives will be lost, and a huge economic damage will be made.

For the answer to the question above, I would say that the Netherlands was one good example of what are the dangers when creating polders that are below the sea level. The water always goes where there is a lower level of the land. That's when the flooding occurs. You can't have a flood on the mountain. Water will always find its way to lower areas of land.

Is atmospheric pressure the same everywhere on the surface of the earth?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Atmospheric pressure differs in different parts of the world.

Explanation:

  • This is because atmospheric pressure depends on the height of a particular location on earth.
  • A number of locations on the earth are at sea level. The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch.
  • At higher levels (altitudes) the atmospheric pressure is lower since higher places have got less air pushing downwards compared to lower altitudes which have more air pushing down and hence, high atmospheric pressure.

Explain how transport and deposition affect the different landforms that occur along the coast?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Deposition occurs when the sea has less energy, eg in sheltered bays . Material that has been eroded from the coast is transported by the sea and later put down. Longshore drift is a process of transportation that shifts eroded material along the coastline. Swash carries sediment up the beach at an angle.
