A severe drought affects those people because they don't have access to a water source in a dry plain. It would be harder to find fresh water because the climate causes the area to be hard, dry and dusty. This makes them more reliant on taps and water sources they have not to break. The United States is a notoriously hot country, by hot, I mean warm and some states are especially dry and dusty. These types of land can cause drought braise water can be evaporated by the suns heat. A severe drought would make a lot of people dehydrated as access to an open water source without taps would be extremely difficult.

Water restrictions are put in place, so less water is to be used. Fires are more likely to happen. You can get arrested for waste of water. Also, people where masks and other devices to keep blowing dirt out of their nose mouth and eyes. 
Trust me I lived in Amarillo Texas for a while and we were drier than the dust bowl.

How can learning about climate address issues of global warming?
arlik [135]

I’ll use myself as an example and see if that helps answer ur question. I knew little about global warming and climate change; i knew it existed. But I had no idea what fossil fuels were, and was honestly too lazy to look it up. Same thing with everything else that affected the climate and the issue of global warming. I knew it was there, but I was too lazy to look it up, and I didn’t know where to begin my research. Not knowing if the information I was getting over the internet was accurate or not didn’t help either. But when I took an environmental geography class this semester, I was absolutely shocked at how bad and how serious this issue actually is. It’s also very interesting to learn about, and it’s so bad that it really prompts people to want to do something about it. Many people I know switched their majors to env geo, and there are a lot cases where people around the world leave their current jobs (even CEO’s) to dedicate their lives to helping the environment.

A large, major hurricane is predicted to come ashore with its eye near the Louisiana/Mississippi border. You are asked to recomm
olga2289 [7]

Answer: As a consultant for such a large disaster, I would recommend that instead of focusing on resources to Louisiana or Mississippi, the authorities should focus more on the EVACUATION OF PEOPLE from those locations. In my opinion, this is the best option because it is better to be safe than sorry. Since it was predicted that the hurricane that is approaching is large and major, the extent of the damage will definitely be large and major. The best thing will be for the hurricane to come and meet no one, than come and meet people.

Why is it ironic that Blackie spoils the Shy Man's plan to rob the house? *hint* Irony is the what happens when you expect one t
grigory [225]

This question is about "The Mixer".

Answer:

The irony is established because Blackie was to help Shy Man steal the house.

Explanation:

As was said in the question above, irony is a literary resource that shows a situation totally contrary to what the reader was expecting. This feature is used to surprise the reader and make the story less cliché and predictable, but innovative and stimulating. In the case of "The Mixer", we see an example of irony when Blackie, who was supposed to help Shy Man to steal a house, ends up disturbing and putting the whole plan to waste.
