How do hurricanes affect Central America and the Caribbean?

Geography

serious [3.7K]3 years ago
4 0

The hurricanes have negative, often devastating effects on the Caribbean and Central America.

Explanation:

Both, the Caribbean an Central America, are located in areas where there is high hurricane activity. These two regions are not well developed, but instead they are developing, and there is large scale poverty, which unfortunately doesn't go well in a combination with the hurricanes. Every year, several hurricanes of varying sizes hit these regions, and the effects are devastating more often than not.

Because the people are poor in general, as well as the countries themselves, the infrastructure is of very bad quality. The systems for warning are either non-existent or not very efficient. When stronger hurricanes hit these two regions suffer badly as most of the infrastructure gets destroyed. The bad organization results in lot of people ending up without any help or with little to no medical assistance. Hundreds of thousands of people every year end up homeless, badly injured, or dead, and part of the reason for that is that the warning systems often don't work properly and don't notify the people on time to take cover in safer grounds.

Some of the countries that often have huge problems because of hurricanes are:

  • Haiti
  • Dominican Republic
  • Belize
  • Cuba

Many times a map scale will show distances in both miles and
fiasKO [112]

The correct answer is - kilometers.

Very often, the map scale is showing distances in both miles and kilometers. The reason for this that the majority of the countries in the world use the metric system, thus the kilometers are a must, but also there countries that do not use this system, thus they include the miles. In this way, the map scale can be used by people that both use and not use the metric system in their daily lives.

The map scale is a very important element on the maps. Its purpose is to enable the reader of the map to be able to measure the distance from one place to another, thus to be aware of the real distance in the real space.
