In terms of biodiversity, islands are special locations that contain a range of creatures and ecosystems for both native and endangered biodiversity. Endemism is typical of many islands. Thus islands are regarded as hot spots for biodiversity from a regional biodiversity viewpoint. In a collective portion of a basic land ecosystem it is much simpler to conserve species diversity than by shielding only one region of an archipelago.
Since every island has a specific variety of plants and animals, it is important that conservationists preserve the entire island chain. Thus allow the sources of food to differ from island to island in an archipelago. The type of producer originated in an island and then the type of consumers consuming it differ from island to island due to huge variety of and different adaptations of organisms.
In order to check the regional geology for earthquake danger one should view fault and hazard maps of the area. A fault map shows the distribution of faults or fault zones in an area. A fault is a crack in the earth's surface along which movement occurs.
Hazard maps take into consideration the historic occurrences of earthquakes in the region and shows the probability of likely earthquakes in the region.
the actual building site can be assessed by using a soils map. Different soils react in different ways to seismic waves. The amplitude of seismic waves are either amplified or suppressed depending on the
type of soil or bedrock.
Homes showing signs of susceptibility to earthquakes often have cracks in the structure. These can be caused by minor quakes.
Explanation:
Astronomers have a huge problem detecting radiation from space because the Earth's atmosphere blocks most of it and stops it from reaching the surface. Visible light and radio waves get through to telescopes on the ground, and some detectors (infrared, UV and gamma) work when they are high up on mountains.
hope this helped!!!
I need help with this one too.
