Answer:

C)

Explanation:

The removal of natural vegetation would affect the growth of the dunes in a negative way for the family. While it may seem to them like a good idea to uproot the local vegetation, this would be a grave mistake since beach vegetation is largely responsible for protecting the integrity of the beachfront and protecting it from rampant erosion by wave action.

Another unexpected consequence would be the changing patterns of dune movements since vegetation also anchors dunes.

Answer:

c)  Removing the sand may increase beach erosion, and the area may suffer nearshore flooding.

Explanation:

  • It's since the removal of the sand along the beaches shores will result in more erosion and thereby the increase chances of the flooding along the beaches and this can have serious damage to the ecology of the surrounding areas.
  • Thus there is a risk of high tides and the risk is also associated with the development of large tidal inlets and the occurrences of large storm waves.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

B. atmosphere: because the ash blocked more radiation than normal, not allowing it to reach the surface

Explanation:

The volcanoes are one of the major factors that shape the climate on Earth. Their influence can be more moderate and gradual, or it can very big and abrupt. The large volcanic eruptions manage to cause changes in the global climate very quickly. The reason for this is that they have big influence on the atmosphere. By releasing lot of ashes and small particles into the atmosphere, a layer of them is formed around the Earth. This layer had greater albedo, thus it is reflecting the sunlight instead of letting it go through. This causes rapid drop in the global temperatures, and as was the case in 1815, it resulted in a year without summer. If the volcanic eruption is very big and comes from a super-volcano, than it can have much longer impact, lasting for decades or even centuries.
