Development programs can increase an area's susceptibility to disasters. - A major increase in livestock development leads to overgrazing, which contributes to desertification and increases vulnerability to famine.
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play a significant role in disaster prevention, mitigation response and recovery. Timely, predictable and effective information is much needed by government agencies and other humanitarian actors involved in rescue operations and decision-making processes.
The enormous submarine canyon located off the coast of central California in Monterey bay is very well studied for both its geologic and biologic features, as well as being a national marine sanctuary. Thus, "Monterey" is the correct filler to be used here.
<h3>What is a Submarine canyon?</h3>
A submarine canyon is a steep-sided valley that has been dug into the seabed of the continental slope; it can occasionally extend deep over the continental shelf, have virtually vertical walls, and can have canyon walls that are up to 5 km high, like the Great Bahama Canyon. Submarine canyons provide routes for the movement of turbidity currents over the seafloor, just like above-sea level canyons do for the movement of water through land.
Rivers may provide turbidity currents or storms, and undersea landslides, earthquakes, and other soil disturbances may create them on the seafloor. Turbidity currents are movements of water that are thick and sediment-laden. The continental slope is eroded by the swift (up to 70 km/h) turbidity currents that flow downslope.

Answer:
All three statements are sometimes true and sometimes false
Explanation:
The Moon orbits the Earth, with the same face always toward the Earth.
1. The moon is sometimes between the Sun and the Earth. At other times, it isn't.
2. The Sun shines on the back side of the Moon, but it also shines on the front side.
3. The side that faces the Earth is sometimes dark (New moon) and sometimes lit (Full moon).
Answer:
As it builds up the impacts of hazardous event.
Explanation:
- As Mexico is the one of the most seismically active zones and it sits on the intersecting tectonic plates which are bordered by the cocos plate and the North American plate and is along with the cost of the Mexico that form a subduction zone and these force thus cause about 40 earthquakes in a day.
- <u>As the Mexico city is built in a dry lake bed with a soft soil that has sand and clay the earthquake event amplifies the destruction. And cause violent shaking of the ground with deeper and denser soils that increase the magnitude of the events. Thus the densely populated areas are more prone to the earthquakes as the changes of the land-use patterns change the effects of hazards.</u>
Answer: 1- Option (D)
2- Option (A)
Explanation:
The green house gases plays a significant role in the earth's global temperature. In absence of green house gas, the earth would have been very much cold and life would would be difficult to exist. The average global temperature would have been about -15°C to 25°C. So the most favorable answer given here is that the<u> earth's temperature would have decrease by about 60°C</u>.
<u>Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is not the most abundant green house gas</u>. It is the second most abundant. The present composition of CO₂ in the atmosphere is about 0.04% by volume. A small increase in the CO₂ level, can lead to a global rise in the temperature. Hence, <u>the above statement is false.</u>
