Answer:

As San Francisco and other cities in the Bay Area commemorate the anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, we are reminded once again of the need to get prepared for the next natural disaster. The 6.9 magnitude earthquake not only resulted in collapsed homes, displacement of residents, but it also was a terrifying reminder of the need to reinforce the structures we use every single day.

I hope this helped, have an awesome day!

Which of the following statements is NOT true? Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.
Papessa [141]

The answer is; Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.

The atmospheric circulation does not keep the temperatures in an area constant, however, they regulate temperatures through convection currents. Hot air rises as cold air mass sinks to replace the rising hot less dense air. These currents transfer energy around the globe and prevent one area from overheating.
