Answer:

The epicenter to a biologically impaired person is simply, the point where the devastation is much. The point where the earthquake originates.

Explanation:

I will further explain thus, between California and Los Angeles is about 50  miles apart. That is about 190 towns in between. So, whatever devastation we feel hear, will be triple what they will feel at the epicenter. Epicenter is where the damages to structures and environment are most.

I can go further to use what happens bomb exploxion to further drive home the meaning. If there is a bomb {grenade} explosion, the point where the explosion occurs has more devastation than areas about 100 meters away.

olga_2 [115]

The haka is a traditional war cry, war dance, or challenge in Māori culture. It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment.[a]

War haka were originally performed by warriors before a battle, proclaiming their strength and prowess in order to intimidate the opposition, but haka are also performed to welcome distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions or funerals, and kapa haka (performing arts) groups are very common in schools.

In what type of situation would it be more important to know about weather<br> instead of climate
maria [59]

Answer:

Daily weather forecast or any kind of natural disaster

Explanation:

Climate is the pattern and state of weather conditions in a long period, spreading over few years. As such, it can tell us what kind of weather we can expect in a certain period of the year. The weather is dependent on climate.

Yet, <u>climate can’t tell us the daily prognosis in detail. </u><u>We might know certain periods in some locations mean a bigger chance of rainfall, but we do not know if we should bring the umbrella with us today. That is why we need weather –</u><u> to tell us current weather and the one upcoming in the near future, so we can adapt to it.</u>

This also goes for natural disasters. Climate can’t foresee if the natural disaster will hit some location at a certain moment in the long future, but weather tells us if something is coming soon and if we should prepare.
