Geothermal heating is the direct use of geothermal energy for some heating applications. Humans have taken advantage of geothermal heat this way since the Paleolithic era. Approximately seventy countries made direct use of a total of 270 PJ of geothermal heating in 2004. As of 2007, 28 GW of geothermal heating capacity is installed around the world, satisfying 0.07% of global primary energy consumption. Thermal efficiency is high since no energy conversion is needed, but capacity factors tend to be low (around 20%) since the heat is mostly needed in the winter.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer : 

There are three ways in which humans and environment interact with each other : 

Humans Depend on the Environment: The natural environment is made up of living things and non living things. Humans depend on the natural environment for their basic needs; food, shelter, and clothing.
Humans Modify the Environment: People modify (change) the natural environment to meet their needs. For example, they build dams, plow and irrigate fields, and dig mines. They build houses, schools, and shopping centers on land. This also includes human's impact on the earth's health. Creating pollution, litter and carbon dioxide all affect the earth's condition.
Humans Adapt to the Environment: Humans have settled in virtually every corner of the world by successfully adapting to various natural settings. 
have settled in virtually every corner of the world by successfully adapting to various natural settings. For example, people who live in the northern United States use heating units to keep their homes warm in winter. People in the southern part of the United States use air conditioning most of the year to stay cool in the heat. In addition, in countries where earthquakes are common homes and buildings are built to survive an earthquake.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Use materials more resistant to chemical weathering.

Explanation:

In the context of a warm and humid city, it is important to use building materials that are not extremely susceptible to chemical weathering. Buildings made of brick and/or iron and steel will survive much longer in the elements in a tropical condition than will a building made of wood or calcite. The latter is especially vulnerable to even the slightest amount of acidity in the rain and is easily dissolved.
