<h3>Two human developments that would increase the risk of people being affected by natural hazards:</h3>
<u>Development of Refineries:</u>
- Refineries burn fossil fuel, which results in a great release of toxic substances into the atmosphere.
- This is referred to as air pollution. These wastes are classified as CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons) they attack the molecules of ozone in the atmosphere, which releases much oxygen to the earth, but leaving less and less ozone molecules which protect the earth from direct effects of the sunlight.
- These effects include increase in temperature which negatively affects the ice that is stored in the North and South region of the earth
<u>Development of rural areas</u>
- This is a subtle means of natural hazard, because during urbanization, many species of plants and even some animals are destroyed.
- It is a natural hazard, because these plants or animals might prevent some certain things from happening.
- For example, grasses stops water erosion, trees serve as wind breaks to prevent wind from becoming sand storms
Sun is farther away than moon.
Its in the Northeastern and mid-Alantic region
Answer: Mediterranean weather zones are normally positioned alongside the western aspects of continents, about 30 and 45 degrees north and south of the equator. Areas with this weather are where the so-called "Mediterranean trinity" of agricultural merchandise has historically developed: wheat, grapes, and olives.
When a volcano erupts, the molten rock (or magma) that comes out of the Earth is called lava. Because lava is so hot (more than 1,100 degrees C, over 2,000 degrees F), it remains molten and flows across the ground until it cools and hardens into rock.
