Lines of latitude and longitude help you find a certain location on a map
Answer: Very Likely
Explanation:
Michigan has had 24 deaths from extreme cold in the last 20 years.
This is a rate of:
= 24 / 20
= 1.2 deaths per year.
For something to be considered ''very likely'' to occur, the chances of that thing occurring needs to be above 90%.
Going by the deaths per year, the probability is more than 90% at 120%. It is therefore very likely that there will be a death from extreme cold.
Answer:
b. wind waves, seiches, tsunami, tides.
Explanation:
The wavelength of water waves is calculated measuring the distances between the trough (low point) portion of a wave. Usually, the bigger the wave, the greater the wavelength.
wind waves: small waves caused by the wind. These waves tend to be small and with a short wavelength.
seiches: are usually waves on a lake or other closed water bassin. They can be pretty high from a human perspective, so they are definitely bigger than wind waves.
tsunami: we all know how big the waves of a tsunami can be, totally wiping out coastal cities they encounter, so that's pretty big waves, and big waves tend to be larger apart (so with a bigger wavelength) than smaller ones.
tides: yes, a tide can be considered as a huge wave... that's running throughout the planet. We barely see it as a wave because we can only see one wave at a time, the next wave being tens of thousands of mile away.
Drought and desertification are closely related phenomena. Persisting over months or years, drought can affect large areas and may have serious environmental, social and economic impacts. While drought is a natural phenomenon, whose impacts can be exacerbated by human activities that are not adapted to the local climate, land degradation is the process of turning fertile land into less or non-productive land. In extreme cases in drylands this is called desertification. Land degradation and desertification are complex phenomena driven by un-adapted human activity in combination with land and climatic constraints. Inappropriate land use, such as monocultures, and unsustainable land management practices, such as deforestation, unsuitable agricultural practices and overexploitation of water resources), can cause land degradation that can be further aggravated by drought.
