Hurricane Sandy’s flooding of New York City highlighted the vulnerability of coastal cities to extreme weather events, which are

becoming more common. Strengthening and protecting infrastructure and the environment before the fact can be very expensive – and perhaps never needed. The possibility of after-the-fact disaster aid can distort economic perspectives. Why is minimizing economic, environmental, and human costs related to extreme weather such a difficult problem for public infrastructure?

Answer:

Minimizing economic, environmental, and human costs related to extreme weather is a difficult problem for public infrastructure because New York´s geography feautures include 520 miles of shoreline, marshes, beaches,   harbors and waterfonts implying an big magnitude of costs requiring a wide  range of adaptive strategies  to bulid up resilience to hazard from extreme weather, but not as an immediate benefit.

Explanation:

New York has always been a waterfront city, therefore Hurricane Sandy’s significant flood and destruction reminded the governments on precedents around the world about extreme weather global complex issues that the city is facing as an urban  waterfront community.

New York City with its unique features, coped with storm´s coastal flooding disaster and recognizes it needs to cope with the challenges of increasing  risk that climate change, sea level rise and coastal storms involve. But the storm city´s resilience imply high-costs-strong measures to plan for coastal risks aid in short- and long-term robust infrastructure projects considering   the special design for waterfront communities by the means of making  the city safer and healthier, but still vibrant and prosperous, vital and sus tainable.

Although critical, planning for the future of these projects depends on budget management associated with each strategy for New York City comprehensive waterfront plan, as this framework requires gigantic public and  private investment for ensuring healthy waterways, a strong port, the ecological protection of nat ural habitats, the public’s enjoyment of the shoreline, and the economic benefits of  in our waterfront trying to understand the magnitude and benefits in the future and in case of disasters.

A geologist finds rocks with dinosaur fossils.
Naddika [18.5K]
It's being estimated that dinosaurs lived on Earth from about 237 million years ago to about 66 million years ago. So answers B and D are definately too "old", while answer A is too "young". I'd pick answer C as it's most probable.

Another different is because Spain is closer to the equator but Norway is closer to the arctic.

bogdanovich [222]

Natural resources include fossil fuels, metal, minerals,plants, soil, sunshine, water and wildlife. Every day, we depend on and use natural  resources. They contribute to the economy, by creating energy, providing shelter, producing food and medicine and for spiritual well being.  

By protecting and conserving natural resources, we ensure that they used efficiently today and are available in the future as well. Conversing resources also ensures the health and wellness of the entire system.   The 3 principles to protect resources are:

Reduce- By making environmental friendly choices in products and reducing the amount of we consume. For example, by borrowing from friends and sharing with neighbours instead of buying things that we do not use often. By using energy efficient light bulbs and electronics, we reduce the amount of energy consumed. By using public transport and not drive cars, we reduce the carbon emissions on the road and save fuel. By bringing a bag to store groceries at the supermarket, we reduce the use of plastic bags and air pollution.  

Reuse- Items such as plastic bags , other plastic food containers and coffee tins can be repurposed into storage containers for lunch boxe and storage containers for sewing supplies, tools, machine parts and gardening seeds. Torn clothes can also be used as rags or sewed to become blankets.Broken machines parts can be salvage to be used for repairing other items.  

Recycle: Place rubbish in the right recycling bins so that items like paper bags, soda cans and plastic bottles can be recycled in facilities. Opt to purchase toilet paper, tissue paper and writing paper made from recycled papers too.  

Conserving and protecting natural resources is important so that the climate will protected and resources will be available for the future generation.
