"Aftershocks have greater impacts than initial earthquakes". How far do you agree with the statement? explain.

Geography

Not at all. Aftershocks are much weaker and have less energy than initial earthquakes due to the energy having been spent on the earthquake itself. However aftershocks are unpredictable and don't always happen, so they could possibly do more damage, but they do not have greater impacts than initial earthquakes.

My opinion.

¿Qué dificultades y ventajas presentaban las características geográficas de la cuenca del Mediterráneo para la agricultura, las
mart [117]

Answer:

Dificultades para agricultura:

  • Eventos de sequía muy marcada
  • Plagas y pestes
  • Sobredemanda

Ventajas para agricultura:

  • gran proporción de especies nativas con alto valor energético y potencial de domesticación
  • clima costero templado

Ventajas para comunicaciones y el transporte

  • Mar mediterráneo uniendo pueblos
  • Desarrollo de la navegación
  • Asentamientos en las zonas costeras
  • Incremento de la comercialización e intercambio de productos y saberes

Explanation:

En el área mediterranea existe una alta proporción de especies nativas con potencial de domesticación, entre las que se encuentran muchos pastos y mamíferos. De hecho, muchas de las especies cultivadas y comercializadas a nivel global en la actualidad provienen de pastos del mediterraneo.

En el clima mediterráneo, la estacionalidad es muy marcada en las caras oeste de los  continentes. La estación seca ocurre durante el verano, y la estación húmeda ocurre durante el invierno.

En invierno, la tierra tiende a  enfriarse más que el agua del océano, y los vientos del oeste traen a la costa aire cargado de  humedad, que se condensan, y precipitan. En verano,  la tierra está más caliente que el océano; los vientos del oeste soplan tierra  adentro y se calientan en tierra,  absorbiendo más humedad, y haciendo más secas las condiciones en tierra.

La estación seca es hostil debido a las elevadas temperaturas  del verano. Los eventos de sequias, junto a la mayor tendencia de ocurrencia de plagas que ataquen los cultivos, sumada a la sobredemanda, hacen de la agricultura una actividad dificil.  

Aún así, fue el clima costero templado el que favoreció el desarrollo de la agricultura. La producción de trigo, vino o aceite de oliva, entre otros productos de alto valor energético, generaron un gran impacto económico, incrementando el comercio y la comunicación dentro de la zona mediterránea.

La tendencia de los pueblos a ubicarse cerca del agua distó mucho de ser una limitación. Desarrollaron la navegación a través de la que pudieron incrementar el comercio e intercambio cultural entre pueblos. Sumado a ello, este tipo de transporte facilitó la colonización de nuevas áreas.

En la cuenca del Mediterraneo se encuentra la Medialuna Fertil, que porbablemnte haya sido el primer centro de domesticación. Es aquí donde comenzaron la domesticación de distintas especies vegetales y de algunas especies animales.

The Gulf Stream starts near the __________ and carries _________ water up the east coast of the United States.
vaieri [72.5K]
GULF STREAM

GULF STREAM. A powerful, warm, surface current in the North Atlantic Ocean, east of North America, the Gulf Stream is one of the strongest known currents. It originates in the Gulf of Mexico as the Florida Current, with an approximate temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit, a breadth of no more than fifty miles and a depth of a mile or more. It passes through the Straits of Florida and up along the eastern coast of the United States to the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada, driven northward by southwest winds.

As the Gulf Stream reaches Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, the cold Labrador Current that flows from the north separates it from the coast. At this confluence, the warm Gulf Stream waters combine with the cold winds accompanying the Labrador Current, forming one of the densest concentrations of fog in the world. Because of this immense heat transfer, atmospheric storms tend to intensify in this region. Also at this location, the Gulf Stream is split into two currents: the Canary Currents, which are diverted southeast and carry cooler waters to the Iberian Peninsula and northwestern Africa; and the North Atlantic Drift, which flows northwest toward western Europe, providing temperate waters to the western coastal areas of Europe. The water temperature decreases with the northward flow and the breadth of the current spans several hundred miles at its widest. The average speed of the Gulf Stream is four miles per hour, slowing to one mile per hour as the current widens to the north. The Gulf Stream transports as much as 3.99 billion cubic feet of water per second, an amount greater than that carried by all of the world's rivers combined. The current's core, or jet, follows the contours of the
