Based on the text, why might the California's Division of Safety of Dams have

Biology
1 answer:
Vikki [24]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Cheers!

True or false: The integument is strictly composed of the skin. It does not include the various accessory structures that may be
Snowcat [4.5K]

The statement that the integument is strictly composed of the skin and It does not include the various accessory structures that may be present on or beneath the skin layers is False.

<h3>Composition of integument</h3>
  • Together with the underlying epidermal cells that secrete the cuticle, the cuticle and integument make up the skin.
  • The cuticle functions as the insect's exoskeleton, the location of muscle attachment, and the first line of protection against fungi, bacteria, predators, parasites, and environmental toxins, including pesticides.
  • The integument plays a role in behavior, osmoregulation, water control, eating, excretion, desiccation resistance, and as a food reserve.
  • The complexity of the structure and chemistry of an insect's integument as well as the unique ways in which it has been modified to work within its owner's environment serve as some indicators of the variety of roles that these coverings play.

Answer:

The stratosphere

contains the ozone layer ,

is used by airplanes,

has strong, steady winds , and

increases in temperature as altitude increases .

Explanation:

The stratosphere is the atmospheric layer between 10 km and 50 km above the Earth's surface.

It includes the ozone layer, which is at an altitude of about 20 km.

It has strong, steady winds that can reach as high as 220 km/h.

Passenger aircraft generally fly in the lower levels of the stratosphere, at altitudes of about 10 km to 12 km.

Temperatures increase with altitude, from -50 °C at 10 km to -3 °C at 50 km.

A is wrong. The mesosphere (altitude 50 km to 85 km) is the coldest of the atmospheric layers, with temperatures as low as -90 °C at 85 km.

How would the solar eclipse be different if the moon was moved AWAY from the earth?​
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The Sun is completely blocked in a solar eclipse because the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun. Even though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, because it is just the right distance away from Earth, the Moon can fully blocks the Sun’s light from Earth’s perspective. Sometimes the Moon is far enough away that it doesn't create a total solar eclipse. However, once the Moon's growing orbit takes it approximately 14,600 miles (23,500 km) farther away from Earth, it will always be too far away to completely cover the Sun. That won't happen for a long time though.
