1. California
2. The earthquake was caused by planets moving together. He released a lot of energy but observers don’t see much damage
3. Respirators and face shields
4. People should stay indoors and close all doors and windows
5. Well-built frame homes could suffer major damage or removal of roof gables
6.a Doppler Radar
7. Warn people living in the path of a hurricane as soon as possible
8. Reserve levels in the lakes continue to drop significantly
9. Controlled burning removes dead vegetation that might otherwise help wildfires start and spread
10. Make sure people don’t have unintentional cooking fires while camping.
Good luck on the 11th and 12th I can’t help you. Which location has a high level of risk for seismic activity?
– answer: California
An earthquake occurs at a converging boundary. The earthquake has a high magnitude and an observer reports that the earthquake has a low intensity. Which statement about the earthquake is correct?
– answer: The earthquake was caused by plates moving together. It released a lot of energy, but the observer didn’t see much damage.
What items include personal protective equipment (PPE) that people would likely use to minimize the effects of a natural hazard?
– answer: respirators and face shields
Which statement best explains what people should do if a rhythmic refuge order is in effect as a result of a natural hazard?
– answer: People should stay indoors and close all doors and windows.
What structural damage would be expected if a Category 3 hurricane were to hit an area?
– Answer: Well-constructed framed homes could experience significant damage or removal of roof decking and gables.
A scientist wants to study the movement of air in a hurricane to help prevent damage. What tool should the scientist use to learn more about the movement of air?
– answer: a Doppler radar
What is the best way to limit the damage caused by a hurricane?
– response: warn people living in the path of a hurricane as soon as possible.
Use the scenario to answer the question.
A scientist uses data from satellite images to draw conclusions about an area. After analyzing the collected data, the scientist issues a drought warning for the region.
What data best supports the scientist’s decision to issue the warning?
– Answer: Reservoir and lake levels continue to drop significantly.
The National Park Service sometimes creates controlled burns to mitigate wildfires. How does controlled burning limit the spread of forest fires?
– answer: A controlled burn removes dead vegetation that could otherwise promote the start and spread of a forest fire.
National park rangers create public announcements to help prevent accidental wildfires. What is a simple way to prevent accidental wildfires in these parks?
– answer: make sure people don’t have unattended cooking fires while camping.
11 ]In three or four sentences, explain how climate change could impact the formation of hurricanes.
[ My teacher hasn’t graded this yet so idk if this is good ]
– my answer: If sea level temperatures rise, it could affect tropical storms and winds making them more dangerous l. Hot water can also affect hurricanes to be more intense and more dangerous. Warmer water also makes hurricanes more frequent.
12 ]In 3-5 sentences, explain how meteorologists use weather data to predict the likelihood of a catastrophic wildfire.
[ My teacher hasn’t graded this yet so idk if this is good ]
– my answer: Scientists can use data to predict if there will be a potential fire/drought. If there is heat, dry weather, vegetation, there is a risk of a fire occurring. If there is dry weather, dry land, low rainfall, it is most likely a drought, because scientists can gather information about different types of weather, temperature and humidity.
[ make sure to reword and change some stuff in 11 and 12 ]
I just put it back and the answers are correct. I just wanted to pay you back for all the times you helped me. Good luck with the written responses, but I don’t know how I did.
1. Further on, several seismographs
2. Build
3. see
4. Ground deformation, gas increase
5. Satellite
6. Most trees
7. They secure
8. Damage Reduction
9. Daily satellite data
10. Fire
11 & 12 answer in your own words.
11. Upgrading with straps was an answer above. Talk more.
12. Remember your lesson and use your own words, but here are some ideas. Remove or trim flammable plants and shrubs near windows. Remove vegetation and objects that could catch fire around and under terraces, balconies and stairs. Create a separation between trees, shrubs and objects that could catch fire, such as patio furniture, wooden pilings, swings, etc. 100 Nonya is 100% right! Thanks! idk anyone else know????? SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 omg thank you so much!!!! nonya help me im in connexus Answers Thank you very much Nonya!!
