Answer:

The impact and mitigation techniques are the following:

Explanation:

1. Earthquake: Earthquake cause severe damage to the building and infrastructure that leads to high deaths of people and losses to property. It can be mitigate by making more strong infrastructure and avoid making building in those region where earthquakes occurs.

2. Landslides: It also cause high damage to the soil as well as to the people by killing them. Vegetative cover and growing of trees on the edges of lands can reduce its frequency.

3. Tsunamis: It causes severe damage to the coastal regions and cause damage to the property as well as to the people. The damages can be reduced by making strong wall in the coastal regions. Vertical evacuation to existing natural high ground, tsunami-resistant structures are also mitigating techniques.

4. Floods: It causes great damages to both property, land and people. It can be reduces by making dams as well as reduce pollution that cause global warming.

5. Droughts: It can reduce the crop productivity of an area. Crop rotation.  Contoured row crops, Terracing and Tillage practices are the mitigating techniques used for drought.

Which of the following paraphrases Hubble Law?
77julia77 [94]
<h2>Answer: The greater the distance to a galaxy, the greater its redshift</h2>

When we talk about the <u>visible electromagnetic spectrum</u>, we know it starts in violet-blue and ends in red.  

Now, in this context the astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed the spectral lines were displaced towards the <u>red</u><u> </u>(red shift), whereas the nearby stars showed a spectrum displaced to the <u>blue</u>.  

From there, Hubble deduced that the farther the galaxy is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum, and noted that all galaxies are <em>"moving away from each other with a speed that increases with distance"</em>, and enunciated the now called<u> Hubble–Lemaître Law</u>.

This means in the past the distance between two galaxies was smaller than at present, being this the proof that <u>the universe is expanding</u> (like a balloon expands when it is filled with air or another gas).  

At this poitn it is important to stay clear that <u>the redshift is not produced by the relative movement of the galaxies with each other</u>.  This effect is in fact, due to the <u>own expansion of the space</u> among the galaxies.
