Answer: b. Asteroids can cause great damage if they collide with Earth.

Explanation:

The main idea is that asteroids can cause great damage to earth if they collide with our planet. This is what the entire article was centred around starting with an example of the effects of the last time there was a collision with Earth.

It then goes forward to talk about the chances of being hit by another asteroid and what scientists will do if the Earth is at risk of being hit by one which shows that the whole point of the article is the damage asteroids can cause on earth and why this should be avoided.

How are societies preparing for major risks and do you think that these preparations are sufficient and well justified?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

By correct territorial planning including natural hazards prevention and international accords regarding mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

Explanation:

Natural hazards cant be controlled, we cannot know for sure when an earthquake will occur and an eruption cannot be stopped, but there are still things societies can do to prepare and increase the resilience towards this kind of riks.

Trough territorial planning (if done correctly) societies can prepare well, for example, a city located at a high-risk zone of volcano eruption can set an alarm system to alert citizens to when it would be safe to leave the area. A seismic center can be installed to study the tectonic activity and establish high-risk zones.

Regarding climate change, there needs to be an integration of the different countries to the international accords toward climate change so that natural hazards can be mitigated no only locally but globally.

If done correctly estates can receive the impact of a natural hazard and still function correctly. Making high amounts of preparations and funding natural risk mitigation is justified if we look back at past catastrophes such as Katrina Hurricane or Haiti Earthquake and quantify the damage done.
