'Hard engineering strategies are more effective at reducing the risks of

Geography
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

I agree strongly

Explanation:

Because hard engineering involves using artificial structures, such as dams and embankment, which is good because dams can also be used to produce electricity and reservoirs can attract tourists. However, it can be expensive and dams trap sediment which means the reservoir can hold less water.

Where as, soft engineering management is a more natural approach to managing flooding such as flood plain zoning. This is good because it gives people time to protect their properties with sand bags which means many personal possessions can be saved which results in fewer insurance claims. However some people may not be able to access the warnings so flash floods would make the warning ineffective and they do not prevent flooding from happening it just gives people a warning that a flood is going to happen.

Overall I strongly agree that hard engineering is best because of these points stated above which will be a long term advantage.

Which of the following are implicated as drivers in global amphibian decline:
likoan [24]

Answer:

B. All of these are drivers

Explanation:

The populations of lot of amphibians, with rare exceptions, are constantly on the decline around the world. The main reason behind this is the human activity, as it has caused lot of changes, pollution, and dangers for the amphibian populations, which has led lot of amphibians to be on the verge of extinction.

The pollution, especially of the waters, has been a major factor for the decline of the amphibian population. Lot of very toxic chemicals have made the water unsuitable for living and poisonous, which systematically killed off the amphibian populations.

The habitat loss, as with any other group of animals, has left the amphibians without places to live. They have been left without their shelters, food sources, mating grounds, and they have started to die out.

The invasive species, especially the predatory ones, have also had big negative impact. The amphibians didn't had any defense mechanism against the introduced predators, so they were easy prey and their numbers rapidly went down.

Which region in the United States is most likely to have a population of predominantly Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, and P
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

B. the Midwest

Explanation:

The people that have German, Polish, and Scandinavian origin in the United States, tend to be concentrated the most in the Midwest region of the country. There's a very simple explanation for this. In the period when there was a policy about settling more toward the west, which in that period was the Midwest, as the settlers were concentrated around the East Coast, there were some very lucrative offers. The people that were going to move in in this region were going to get very large pieces of land for farming for free or for very small price. This attracted lot of people, as they were given the chance to be farmers and start their lives all over again. In Europe, the situation was not the best in Poland, Germany, and Scandinavia in this period, and lot of people were migrating in the US. As they came upon this initiative, they accepted the offer gladly, so almost all of them settled in the Midwest. There were so many people from these countries that settled, that the Germans for example are actually the largest ethnic group of which the people claim ancestry in the United States.
