The headlines below were taken from newspapers following natural disasters.
Elan Coil [88]
I believe the answer is C. This is because all three headlines include information about transportation systems (first one with air delays, second with road closures and third with roads being reopened) being effected by natural disasters.

Here are why the other ones are incorrect:

A. In headline 2 with Arizona, it states how wildfires caused road closures around the state and not the area of the wildfire (headline 1 also disproves this answer, since it says “Worst delays since 9/11”, meaning it effected a lot more than the nearby area).

B. None of these are predicting natural disasters occurred, as seen by some of the language: “Arizona Fires FORCE road closures” (present tense, not past).

D. These do not mention anything about railroads being immune, so it can’t be it.


Hope this helps!

Diffrences between tundra type climate and polar climate​
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Distinction from Tundra Climate

For example, tundra climates usually have a month in which the average temperature rises beyond the freezing point, while this does not occur in polar climates. The hotter month allows the ice in tundra climates to melt, which enable plants and animals to survive.
