Answer:

A. flood damage is extremely costly due to homes and businesses being built on the flood plain

Explanation:

Floodplain is a waterfront region that is flooded during floods. These areas are very suitable for agriculture due to soil fertility. Such areas develop over the gutter of a valley filled with alluvial soil, over which meanders meander due to the low slope of the river course, which, in flood times, spills over its original bank and floods the adjacent region.

Flooding in this region is natural, but because of the increase in population and the need for expansion of cities, many houses and industries needed to be built in the plains of inunction. In this case, the floods cause a major problem because they cause damage to homes and industries. These losses cause often incalculable economic and emotional damage.

Early radio broadcasts were emitted about a century ago. where are these broadcasts now, having traveled at the speed of light?
Vlad [161]
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and as such travel at the speed of light. Waves emitted a century ago would be 100 hundred light years away. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. In one year light travels about 5.9 trillion miles. therefore the waves traveled about 590 trillion miles in a century.

Several key factors help to determine the types and numbers of organisms found in the various layers of both freshwater and mari
bearhunter [10]

Answer: a. algal bloom

Explanation:

The availability of food in the systems can tell the types and numbers of organisms in the systems by checking which types of organisms eat the food available as well as the quantity available to see the number of organisms.

Temperature and dissolved oxygen levels also play a huge part in determining the feasibility of organisms staying in the system. The availability of nutrients goes hand in hand with the availability of food in determining the organisms present.

Algal bloom is not a factor in determining the types and numbers of organisms found in a system because the conditions that caused this bloom might not be suitable for other organisms as well.
