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.

What was some events from 1600 - 1700 including pirates 20 POINTS!!! PLEASE ASP
garri49 [273]
The era of piracy began in the 1500’s and faded by the 1830’s. Their presence was consistent in the Caribbean from 1623-1638 which ended due to navies of Western Europe and North Americans combatting the pirates. Pirates were most successful from 1660-1730’s. Particularly during the 1600’s, maritime technology began innovation. Trading traffic increased, which for pirates meant more ships to ransack and give rise to their piracy. By the 1690’s, pirates began a route they named the “Pirate Round.” They would sail from the Indian to the Red Sea, searching for trade ships deploying from India. 1718 was the beginning of the end for the “Golden Age of Piracy.” Two years later, in 1720, the English captured famous pirate Jack Rackham and his two female shipmates. In 1722, the wealthiest pirate known had died. His name was Bartholomew Roberts. By 1730, this era had ended.

Which statement contrasts viruses and bacteria?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Viruses can replicate inside cells, while bacteria release toxins to destroy cells.

Explanation:

Viruses and bacteria are both considered microorganisms that can be pathogens. Bacteria are singled celled organisms, where as viruses are non-cellular. Therefore, viruses are sometimes considered non-living, or "on the edge of life"

Viruses consist of (at the minimum) a genome surrounded by a protein coat. To replicate, they have to insert their genome into a host cell. This is another reason they are sometimes considered non living.

In contrast, bacteria can release toxins but do not replicate inside cells.

Therefore, the answer is viruses can replicate inside cells, while bacteria release toxins to destroy cells.
