Suggest how extreme weather in the UK can have economic and social impacts.

Geography

Luba_88 [7]3 years ago
4 0
Extreme weather events in UK are becoming more common, starting earlier and becoming more intense.
Drought - caused by a lack of rain. Flash floods - caused by too much rain in a short period of time. Strong winds and storms.
Significant storms preclude many workers from being able to report to their jobs and that can create significant declines in revenue for the duration of the inclement weather, or even a much longer period of time. What's more, consumer activity is usually suppressed during extreme weather. An enormous volume of debris dumped by the floodwaters had to be cleaned up and stagnant waters had to be re-oxygenated before being pumped back into rivers. However, worse impact of all was the contamination of all flooded areas by oil, agricultural chemicals, livestock effluent, and human sewage. I think that this is the worst impact because of its potential for causing harm to humans and other animals.
Socio-economic impacts were doubtless very important to the people affected at the time; for example, some of the evacuated residents were still living in temporary accommodation several months after the event. The economic impact will have been felt by the individuals involved as well as the taxpayer, local businesses and the local authorities.

How was the path of Hurricane Ike different than the storm of Galveston 1900
olga_2 [115]

Answer: After the hurricane, Galveston raised the elevation of many new buildings by more than 10 feet (3 meters). The city also built an extensive seawall to act as a buffer against future storms. Despite the reconstruction, the city's status as the premier shipping port was lost to Houston a few years after the disaster. Ike, however, is projected to head west on a path that will take it close to Hispaniola, Cuba, and the Florida Straits.”

In terms of the total global supply of water, how much of it is in circulation (producing storms, precipitation events, related
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The total amount of water on the planet that is present in the <em>atmosphere</em> at any given time is about 0.001% of the total water found on Earth. This atmospheric water is responsible for all storms.

If by in storage we mean in <em>groundwater</em> then the percentage would be 1.69.

Explanation:

The overwhelming majority of all water on our planet resides in the <em>oceans</em>. These hold about 96.5% of the total.

If we only consider freshwater (water with no salt) then the greatest storage areas are <em>ice caps</em>, <em>glaciers</em>, and <em>groundwater aquifers</em>.
