1 answer:

7 0

Evidence from countries that continued using DDT showed that correct and timely use of indoor spraying can reduce malaria transmission by up to 90%. In the past, India was able to use DDT effectively to substantially cut the number of malaria cases and deaths.

It also was effective for insect control in crop and livestock production, institutions, homes, and gardens. DDT's quick success as a pesticide and broad use in the United States and other countries led to the development of resistance by many insect pest species.

azamat

Answer:

The correct answer is as showed in the Explanation

Explanation:

Seismic waves are waves of energy that are produced due to Earth's layers movement, such as the ones occurring during earthquakes. Scientists developed an early warning system to determine when an earthquake is going to take place by analyzing the behavior of two types of waves: P waves and S waves. P waves are the ones that travel faster and are produced first, they travel in an exact opposite direct of where the earthquake is produced. On the other hand, s waves or secondary waves are slower and travel in a perpendicular way. Scientist detect when these waves are generated in specialized centers.
