Answer:

The correct answer is A)

To limit the potential flooding damage that could result if an  earthquake happens and the dam spills over

Explanation:

According to the text, seismic risks are very high for dams in that region. One of the reasons is that some of the dams were built many years ago when civil engineers didn't have information about what an earthquake could do to dams.

Citing an occurrence that happened in 1899 as an example where thousands of people were killed as a result of a failed dam, it is feared that should same reoccur, the loss may be more because about 300,000 people occupy the flood zone along the Alameda Creek below the dam.

Does heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar? Tempature if the water is measured in degrees centigrade. Amount of
HACTEHA [7]

The changing quantities in an experiment are called variables. A variable refers to any trait, factor, or a condition, which can prevail in distinct amounts or kinds. An experiment generally exhibits three kinds of variables: independent, dependent, and controlled.

The independent variable refers to the one, which is modified. On the other hand, the dependent variable is implied to observe that how it reacts with the change made to the independent variable. The controlled variables refer to the quantities, which one wants to remain constant.

In the given case, that is, heating a cup of water to witness that whether the sugar will get more easily dissolve. In this, the independent variable refers to the temperature of the water determined in degrees Centigrade. The dependent variable refers to the amount of sugar, which dissolves completely measured in grams.

In this, the controlled variables are stirring and type of sugar. As more stirring might elevate the amount of sugar that dissolves, and different kind of sugars might dissolve in distinct concentrations. So, in order to make sure a fair test, there is a need to keep these variables similar for each cup of water.
