Answer:
The impact and mitigation techniques are the following:
Explanation:
1. Earthquake: Earthquake cause severe damage to the building and infrastructure that leads to high deaths of people and losses to property. It can be mitigate by making more strong infrastructure and avoid making building in those region where earthquakes occurs.
2. Landslides: It also cause high damage to the soil as well as to the people by killing them. Vegetative cover and growing of trees on the edges of lands can reduce its frequency.
3. Tsunamis: It causes severe damage to the coastal regions and cause damage to the property as well as to the people. The damages can be reduced by making strong wall in the coastal regions. Vertical evacuation to existing natural high ground, tsunami-resistant structures are also mitigating techniques.
4. Floods: It causes great damages to both property, land and people. It can be reduces by making dams as well as reduce pollution that cause global warming.
5. Droughts: It can reduce the crop productivity of an area. Crop rotation. Contoured row crops, Terracing and Tillage practices are the mitigating techniques used for drought.
Answer:
D. Ocean - Atmosphere - Wind - Weather
Explanation:
- The El Nino (warm) and La Nina (cool) are the opposing phases of climatic patterns in the tropical pacific ocean and take place every 3 to 7 years. Combined they are called ENSO.
- First, in the El Nino ocean temperatures in the eastern tropical pacific ocean rise above average and this leads to rainfall over Indonesia and storms in central pacific. This rising air increases the air motion and leads to dryness and high surface pressure during the La Nina phase this condition gets reversed.
- During the El Nino, the northwestern pacific tends to be warmers and the southern tier of California tends to be cooler and wetter. These surface temperatures are caused and changed by the help of trade winds. These blows from east to west along the pacific ocean.
- These phenomena thus influenced the weather along the western and the eastern pacific ocean.
