   Ring of Fire, also called Circum-Pacific Belt or Pacific Ring of Fire, long horseshoe-shaped seismically active belt of earthquake epicentres, volcanoes, and tectonic plate boundaries that fringes the Pacific basin. For much of its 40,000-km (24,900-mile) length, the belt follows chains of island arcs such as Tonga and New Hebrides, the Indonesian archipelago, the Philippines, Japan, the Kuril Islands, and the Aleutians, as well as other arc-shaped geomorphic features, such as the western coast of North America and the Andes Mountains. Volcanoes are associated with the belt throughout its length; for this reason it is called the “Ring of Fire.” A series of deep ocean troughs frame the belt on the oceanic side, and continental landmasses lie behind. Most of the world’s earthquakes, the overwhelming majority of the world’s strongest earthquakes, and approximately 75 percent of the world’s volcanoes occur within the Ring of Fire.

Answer:

Use materials more resistant to chemical weathering.

Explanation:

In the context of a warm and humid city, it is important to use building materials that are not extremely susceptible to chemical weathering. Buildings made of brick and/or iron and steel will survive much longer in the elements in a tropical condition than will a building made of wood or calcite. The latter is especially vulnerable to even the slightest amount of acidity in the rain and is easily dissolved.

A weather map is shown below:
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The cold front is to the west of Dallas.

Explanation:

The curved line with triangles on the map represents a cold front, and the direction of the front is indicated by the way the triangles are pointing.

The cold front is most likely to affect Dallas in the coming hours and will probably bring rain, wind, and possibly thunderstorms to the Dallas area. After the passage of the cold front, the pressure will rise and the temperature will drop. The wind will now be out of the northwest.

The predictions are no always exact because some winter cold fronts can bring snow and not all cold fronts generate thunderstorms.

Someone has some geography notes or summaries about Italy ? Thanks to everyone​
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Hi again! Here are my notes on Italy from my geography class last year:

<em>Geography of Italy</em>

Italy is a boot-shaped country to the south of the nations of France, Austria, Slovenia, and Switzerland. Sharing a Mediterranean culture with the Greeks, the Romans built on and borrowed from the Greek advances in civilization. Rome was the capital of what would become a far-reaching empire that would spread these ideas around the known world 1500-2000 years ago. Ideas like trial by jury, judges, plaintiffs, and defendants in court systems came from Rome. Engineering of architecture, roads, aqueducts, Roman baths, and the formation of the Catholic religion all came from the Roman culture. Art, music, literature, and the sciences were all made more sound by the Renaissance, which started in Rome and influenced the world. Along with Greece, Italy is part of the European Union, and its economy is based on textiles and industrial products.
