Why should the us government be doing something more about global warming and climate change

Geography

myrzilka [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

In my view, government has two important roles to play in this. The first is on the emissions side. As you know, climate change is caused by a build-up of carbon in the atmosphere, and that is primarily a result of burning fossil fuels. One that carbon in released into the atmosphere, it stays there for hundreds of years – by making the choice to continue burning fossil fuels today, we are heating up the planet for generations to come. Or to be more blunt about it, by continuing to burn coal, oil, and gas, we are ensuring that our kids and grand-children will be living on a radically different – and likely more chaotic – planet.

Why is NYC so susceptible (easily harmed) to hurricanes?
mina [271]
The high buildings in NYC are highly vulnerable to hurricanes. High winds can arrive before the hurricane actually hits, and the higher you go, the earlier you feel those winds. Since the city is so big, it is also harder for so many people to evacuate from the hurricanes. NYC had 578 miles of coastline which is a lot of water around for the hurricanes to travel through.

On 9 January 1857, the San Andreas fault segment between Cholame and San Bernardino broke loose at its northwestern end, and the
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

On 9 January 1857, the San Andreas fault segment between Cholame and San Bernardino broke loose at its northwestern end, and the rupture propagated southeastward in the great Fort Tejon earthquake with a magnitude of about 7.9.

Explanation:

The Fort Tejon earthquake, which occurred on January 9, 1857, is considered the strongest earthquake that shook the state of California. It is estimated at a strength of 7.9. Its strength is therefore comparable to that of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. It occurred along the San Andreas Fault 362 kilometers between Parkfield and San Bernardino. The two plates that meet along this disturbance shifted up to nine meters during this quake.  

California was still sparsely populated in 1857. Unlike the New Madrid earthquake of 1811, there are hardly any records of people who have experienced this earthquake. For this reason it is only known among seismologists. According to current research, its epicenter was located near the California city of Parkfield. However, it got its name because of the army camp Fort Tejon, which was located on the Tejon Pass, reported it.

Only one death was reported as a result of the earthquake. The person died in the collapse of an adobe house at Reed’s Ranch in Gorman, very close to the fault. Most of the buildings in Fort Tejon were badly damaged and several people were injured. Some buildings in Los Angeles were destroyed, but no major damage was reported.
