Why are floods in urban areas particularly dangerous?

Geography

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.

deff fn [24]

The major environmental concerns in Oceania and Australia re the overfishing and the invasive species.

Explanation:

Australia and Oceania, as pretty much every place in the world, have some big environmental problems. Unlike the rest of the world, this region doesn't really have problem with deforestation, but it has big problems with overfishing, as well as with invasive species. The overfishing and the invasive species combined, manage to create huge problems, especially when it comes to the protection of the native species and keeping their numbers stable.

The overfishing has occurred because of the higher demand for fish. It is not just the local population that uses the fish extensively in its diet, but also there is huge demand worldwide, so lot of fish is actually for export. This has resulted in badly damaging the fish populations, and bringing some species on the verge of existence. The invasive species, have been brought in order to solve some problems, especially when it comes to food supply for the humans, but it turned out that they are fatal toward the local flora and fauna. Species like the cat, fox, camel, pigs, have managed to outcompete the indigenous fauna and lead to its endangering.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: Hanging valleys and waterfalls.

Explanation:

The time or period of the maximum glacial advance, Yosemite Valley was filled with a very big truck of glacier. Little tributary glaciers flowed down adjacent valleys and joined into the trunk. When the glaciers returned, the trunk glacier had cut a very deeper valley than the tributary glaciers, becoming hanging valleys where the tributary glaciers merged the trunk. Today in Yosemite National park, we can see evidence of glacier from the hanging valleys and waterfalls.
