Geography
2 answers:
Svetlanka [38]3 years ago

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere, which is 100 km (60 miles) thick. The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, which is malleable or partially malleable, allowing the lithosphere to move around. How it moves around is an evolving idea.

Why are floods in urban areas particularly dangerous?
Igoryamba
In urban areas, there are more people, therefore not a lot of farmland. (that eliminates C) If city buildings don't allow flood waters to recede, that could be dangerous in many ways. (So A is still a reasonable answer) If most cities are built in flood zones, there should be some form of shelter if houses aren't safe. Pollutants and diseases being carried in water are already dangerous, but easier to spread with rapid flood waters that are sweeping everywhere. So your best answer would be either A or B.
