Why are floods in urban areas particularly dangerous?

Geography
1 answer:
Igoryamba3 years ago
6 0
In urban areas, there are more people, therefore not a lot of farmland. (that eliminates C) If city buildings don't allow flood waters to recede, that could be dangerous in many ways. (So A is still a reasonable answer) If most cities are built in flood zones, there should be some form of shelter if houses aren't safe. Pollutants and diseases being carried in water are already dangerous, but easier to spread with rapid flood waters that are sweeping everywhere. So your best answer would be either A or B.

If mars' atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, why isn't it as hot as venus?
kykrilka [37]
Mars' atmosphere is made mostly of carbon dioxide, much like Venus. It is not as hot as Venus because the Martian atmosphere is extremely thin. Venus has a thick layer of carbon dioxide gas surrounding the planet. This is why it is the hottest planet in the solar system even though it is not the closest to the sun. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas so it has the ability to trap infrared radiation. The atmosphere on Mars is thin and so it will not trap as much heat as the Venusian atmosphere.

if the atmosphere is unstable and has strong winds, then the emissions from a smoke stack will ____________.
Ket [755]

When the air is unstable or the atmosphere is unstable this means there is a difference between high pressure and low pressure. The capacity to transport and disperse pollution will be more or higher.

  • The noxious gas like the Sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon oxide, and monoxide that results in urban smog will rise and spread more quickly. This will lead to the unblocking of sunlight.
  • The gases originating from the boiler and other places where the combustion occurs will not adversely affect the environment.

Which of the following is NOT a result of NAFTA?
lys-0071 [83]
D. NAFTA is just an agreement that gets rid of SOME tariffs and quotas. It doesn’t eliminate all of them because if it did, our economy would suffer heavily, and not to mention it’s not a financially smart idea.
