<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

The earth is round first discovered by
valina [46]
It isn't exactly known who discovered it first, but the earliest claim of earth being round rather than flat was posed by Pythagoras sometime around 500 B.C. He argued that if the moon was round the Earth should be as well.

After that, his claim was proven true by a man named Anaxagoras at around 500-430 B.C when he brought up solar and lunar eclipses. The shape of Earth's shadow on the moon was also used as evidence that the Earth was round.

And finally, in 350 B.C the great Aristotle declared that the Earth was a sphere based on constellations you can see if you travel farther from the equator. Over the next hundred or so years, Aristarchus and Eratosthenes actually measured the size of the earth.
