How do hurricanes affect Central America and the Caribbean?

Geography
1 answer:
serious [3.7K]4 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

*****<br>(b) Explain five proofs that the earth is spherical in shape.​
Dima020 [189]

Explanation:

1. Watch a ship sail off to sea

Without being in the sky, it is impossible to see the curvature of the Earth. However, you can always see a demonstration of this if you visit a harbor or any place with a wide-open view of the water.

2. Watch a lunar eclipse

Solar eclipses get all the attention, but if you are able to catch a glimpse of a lunar eclipse, you can see evidence that the Earth is, indeed, round. Here's how it works: Earth passes between the moon and sun, so that the sun projects Earth’s shadow onto the Moon in the night sky

3. Climb a tree

Imagine a vast plane with but one tree smack in the middle. If the earth were flat, your vision would extend exactly as far while standing at the base of the tree as it would when at the top of the tree

4.Measure shadows across the country

Pick two locations that are some distance apart (at least a couple hundred miles from each other and on the same meridian). Grab two sticks or dowels (or other objects) of equal length, two tape measures, and a friend. Each of you will take one stick/dowel/object and one tape measure to your location, stick the object into the ground, and measure the shadow. (For accuracy, you should both take your measurements at the same time of day.)

5. Watch a sunset

Pick a nice spot from which you can watch a sunset (we'll call this point A). Ideally, you'd have a clear horizon in front of you, and behind you would be some sort of elevated point that you can quickly access (a hill, a building with at least two floors, or perhaps the aforementioned tree; we'll call this point B).

What is essential for a confederation?
user100 [1]

Answer:

smaller political units maintaining their sovereignty

Explanation:

Confederation is the name given to a country that is a federation, but the states that make up that country maintain their sovereignty, separate from the power of the federal government. In this case, to maintain a confederation it is essential that the smaller political units, the states, maintain their sovereignty. This is different from a federation, because in a federation, states lose sovereignty, transferring it to the federal government.
