<h3>Two human developments that would increase the risk of people being affected by natural hazards:</h3>

<u>Development of Refineries:</u>

  • Refineries burn fossil fuel, which results in a great release of toxic substances into the atmosphere.
  • This is referred to as air pollution. These wastes are classified as CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons) they attack the molecules of ozone in the atmosphere, which releases much oxygen to the earth, but leaving less and less ozone molecules which protect the earth from direct effects of the sunlight.
  • These effects include increase in temperature which negatively affects the ice that is stored in the North and South region of the earth

<u>Development of rural areas</u>

  • This is a subtle means of natural hazard, because during urbanization, many species of plants and even some animals are destroyed.
  • It is a natural hazard, because these plants or animals might prevent some certain things from happening.
  • For example, grasses stops water erosion, trees serve as wind breaks to prevent wind from becoming sand storms

Warm, dry wind associated with devastating fires in Southern California Another name for a whirlwind; blows dust and sand into a
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: A.Santa Ana

Explanation:

This description perfectly agrees with the Santa Ana Winds (also called Santana Winds), which are due to a meteorological phenomenon that occurs between southern California and northern Baja California during autum and early winter (although they can also occur in the other seasons of the year). In this sense, strong winds are caused by high air pressure circulating clockwise at high altitudes in the Great Basin between Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains (and the Mojave Desert).

It should be noted that these winds are characteristic of the region, which dry the vegetation, knock down electric utility poles and trees, and sometimes transport hot embers, being the main cause of fire spread.
