Answer:

Natural processes such as waves, tides, and weather, continually change coastal landscapes. The integrity of coastal homes, businesses, and infrastructure can be threatened by hazards associated with event-driven changes, such as extreme storms and their impacts on beach and dune erosion, or longer-term, cumulative changes associated with coastal and marine processes, such as sea-level rise. Scientists working on Coastal Change Hazards conduct basic and applied research and provide relevant science-based products to assist the Nation with these coastal change hazard challenges. By building a community with a broad range of expertise, CCH facilitates the integration of diverse coastal science and the exchange of new ideas and approaches across the Coastal-Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP). Innovative collaboration is encouraged in order to identify and address the Nation’s needs and coastal change hazards problems. Through observation and modeling, CCH develops robust and accessible coastal change assessments that help improve the lives, property, and economic prosperity of the Nation’s coastal communities, habitats, and natural resources.

Scientists in Japan have begun setting off explosives along a geological fault line analyzing the Earth's structure and trying to map the danger spots.

Explanation:

Japan lies in the world’s highest active earthquake belt along the Pacific Ring of Fire and is highly prone to earthquakes. Understanding and analyzing the activities of the geological fault lines helps to identify the danger spots of earthquakes and mark the hazard zones. This helps to prevent the damage of earthquakes by providing pre-warnings and precautions.

There are numerous fault lines across Japan and scientists are trying to identify the danger spots by triggering explosions along the fault line in the south-west of Tokyo. This fault line separates Japan mainland from the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan.

The explosions help to analyze the movement of the tectonic plates underneath the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan. This helps to track tsunamis arising from oceans during high-intensity earthquakes.

What countries produce acid rain or cause it

mash [69]

Acid rain is found in Sweden and is caused by air pollution in Britain and other countries of Europe. The pollution produced in Britain ends up mostly in Scandinavian countries- countries of northern Europe including Sweden, Norway and Denmark. In the USA, the winds blow air pollution to certain areas in Canada.

Acid rain has terrible effects on water life. Thousands of lakes in Scandinavia have no more life in them. They have received so much acid rain for so many years that life has been snuffed out and nothing can survive in these waters.

The International Date Line is an imaginary line that crosses the surface of the Earth and goes from the North Pole to the South Pole, and it signifies the change of one calendar day to the next. It crosses the middle of the Pacific Ocean, over the 180° line of longitude expect for some territories and island groups.
