A tsunami is a series of waves generated by large undersea disturbances, such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. A tsunami ca

n exceed 100 km in wavelength, but measure about 3 m in height. However, as they near shallower water, the wavelength lessens and wave height increases, creating potentially devastating waves in coastal areas. Which of the following best describes the population dynamics in areas of the continental U.S. with the greatest tsunami hazard?
A. Though values vary, the population only modestly increased (0-4.9%) between 2000 and 2010 throughout the areas with the greatest tsunami hazard.
B. Though population trends vary throughout the areas with the greatest tsunami hazard, overall there has been a net decrease in population.
C. The central Oregon coast has both the highest tsunami hazard and the highest population increase between 2000 and 2010.
D. The areas with the greatest tsunami risk correspond to areas that have had the greatest population decrease (-46.6% to -5%) from 2000 to 2010.
E. Some of the areas with the highest population increases between 2000 and 2010 (above 14.9%) occur in areas with the greatest tsunami risk.

Answer:

E. Some of the areas with the highest population increases between 2000 and 2010 (above 14.9%) occur in areas with the greatest tsunami risk.

Explanation:

A Tsunami can also be called a tidal wave and is characterized by the displacement of a large volume of wave-shaped water capable of advancing in the terrestrial portion and causing great destruction. Although it does not happen very often, there are areas in the USA with high tsunami risks. These areas are the ones with the highest population growth, which can be a major concern for governments if they need to act against tsunamis.

Answer:

energy required = 553772 kJ

Explanation:

we know that

1 m = 100 cm

1 m³ = 1000 L

so volume will be

water volume = 1,658 × \frac{1}{100} m³

water volume = 1.658 m³

so water volume we can say = 1,658 liters of water

and

we know that 1 mg of water  require =  334 J energy

so here  here we can say 1 L =   334 kJ energy

as that 1658 L energy require = 1658 × 334 kJ

energy required = 553772 kJ

satela [25.4K]
The use of mechanized farming techniques is well suited to geographic areas that c. have large expanses of flat land. Regions such as the Canadian Prairies is a large expanse of flat land and as such easily supports mechanization in planting crops such as wheat. Mechanization in agriculture would be hampered in areas that experience frequent flooding as equipment could get stuck in mud or suffer other water damage.
