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.

write a 5-7 paragraph explaining what you think is happening to the earths co2 levels through the year.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Climate change has been described as one of the biggest problems faced by humankind. Carbon dioxide is is the primary driver of global warming. Prof Joanna Haigh from Imperial College London explains why this gas has played a crucial role in shaping the Earth's climate.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been present in the atmosphere since the Earth condensed from a ball of hot gases following its formation from the explosion of a huge star about five billion years ago.

At that time the atmosphere was mainly composed of nitrogen, CO2 and water vapour, which seeped through cracks in the solid surface. A very similar composition emerges from volcanic eruptions today.

As the planet cooled further some of the water vapour condensed out to form oceans and they dissolved a portion of the CO2 but it was still present in the atmosphere in large amounts.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Presence of papillary muscles

Explanation:

  • Papillary muscles are structural components of the ventricles.
  • They are attached to the cusps of the mitral and tricuspid valves through connective tissue strings known as the cordinae tendeneae (heart strings).
  • These muscles prevent the prolaspse of these valves during ventricular systole.
  • Although they differ in number i.e. two in left and three in right ventricle, papillary muscles are present in both ventricles.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The answer is:

B. Worms consuming the blood from mammals.

Algae isn't causing any harm to the sloth, rather its providing it with camouflage to hide from predators. Both creatures benefits since the algae gets to eat any parasites and other things in the sloths fur, plus they get a free ride and home in the process. The sloth isn't harmed and is helped by the algae since it provides camouflage (mutualism).

Tree frogs aren't causing harm to the trees since they are only using them to hide from predators, the tree serves as protection for the frogs and aren't harmed in the process (commensalism).

Two fish protecting each other from predators aren't harming each other in any way, rather they are protecting each other from another animal that wants to eat them (mutualism).

The worms however are harming the mammals because they are consuming the mammals blood, this is parasitism since one animal is benefiting and the other is harmed.

Hope this helps! :)
