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

As deltas are depositional features of fluvial processes, so blank are depositional features of eolian (wind) processes.
lina2011 [118]

The correct answer is - dunes.

The dunes, or sand dunes, are a relief forms that are formed by deposition of material. In the process of forming a dune, the responsibility goes to the eolian processes (wind processes). The wind has its own mechanical power to erode the rocks, but it also has the power to transport the material. The stronger the wind, the bigger the particles it can transport, and vice versa. When the wind is transporting a certain material, in the case of the dunes it will be sand particles, eventually it will start to lose on speed, and as it loses on speed, it loses on power, so the sand particles are starting to fall on the ground and deposit. s more and more sand particles are depositing, the dune starts to form, and it is growing bigger as more sand particles are falling on it.
