The 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami gave us a vivid description of menace of major tsunamis. It also suggested that tsunami science and engineering were inevitable to save human society, industries, and natural environment.

An answer can be found in Japan. Japan is the country the most frequently hit by tsunamis in the world. The experiences are well documented and are continued as the local legends. In 1896, the tsunami science started when the Meiji Great Sanriku Tsunami claimed 22,000 lives. An idea of comprehensive countermeasures was officially introduced after the 1933 Showa Great Sanriku Tsunami. The major works taken after this tsunami, however, were the relocation of dwelling houses to high ground and tsunami forecasting that started in 1941. The 1960 Chilean Tsunami opened the way to the tsunami engineering by elaborating coastal structures for tsunami defense. The 1983 Japan Sea Earthquake Tsunami that occurred during a fine daytime cleared the veil of actual tsunamis. The 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake Tsunami led to the practical comprehensive tsunami disaster prevention used at present, in which three components, defense structures, tsunami-resistant town development and evacuation based on warning are combined.

The present paper briefs the history of tsunami research in Japan that supports countermeasures.

Based on your understanding of the hydrologic cycle and oceans, pick the correct statement from the choices below.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Neither A nor B is correct

Explanation:

Hydrologic cycle is the sequence of different conditions through which the water passes from oceans to clouds, precipitates as rains, comes to the rivers and finally reaches the ocean.

This first statement in the question said that water will end up in the river which is not true because water from the river ultimately ends in the oceans because all the rivers terminate in the oceans finally.

The second statement is also wrong because when water from one ocean vaporizes and becomes cloud, it can travel large distances as clouds in the effect of wind and thus may get precipitated in the form of rain in some other part of the world. So, it is not necessary that the water will end up in the same ocean.

Which statement below best summarizes the
monitta

Answer:

D. Clear-cutting would increase the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Plants including trees are organisms that help maintain the balance of carbon in the carbon cycle. They do this via the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS, which is the way they obtain their energy and carbon source. During photosynthesis, trees (plants) absorb carbon in form of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air through the STOMATA on their leaves.

CO2 is an input substance in order for photosynthesis to occur. In a case where all the trees (plants) of a forest has been clear cut or removed, there will be no organisms to directly absorb the carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere via respiration. Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere would increase.
