Which location has a high hazard level for seismic activity? California
Which statement about the earthquakes is correct? The earthquake was caused by plates moving together. It released a lot of energy, but the observer did not see much damage. Which items include personal protective equipment (PPE) people would likely use to minimize the effects of natural hazard? Respirators and face shields.
Which statement best explains what people should do if a shelter-in-pace order is in effect as a result of a natural hazard? people should remain inside and close all doors and windows. Which structural damage could be expected if a category 3 hurricane is predicted to hit an area? Well-built framed homes could incur major damage or removal of roof decking and gable ends. Which tool should the scientist use to find out more about the movement of air? a Doppler radar
Which is the best way to limit the damage caused by a hurricane? provide as early a warning as possible to people living in the path of a hurricane.
Which data best supports the scientist's decision to issue the warning? reservoirs and lake levels continue to drop signficanly. How does a controlled burn limit the spread of wildfires? A controlled burn removes dead vegetation that might otherwise help a wildfire start and spread. Which is a sample way that accidental wildfires can be prevented in these parks? Ensure people do not have unattended cooking fires while camping. open response: Evaporation intensifies as tempetures rise, and so does the transfer of heat from the oceans to the air. As the storms travel across warm oceans, they pull in more water vapor and heat. That means stronger wind, heavier rainfall and more flooding when the storms hit land and by increasing the intensity and decreasing the speed at which they travel. Meterologist use weather data such temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and precipitation to perdict the probility of a catastrophic wildfire. They analyze this data to assess the likelihood of dry and windy conditions that could fuel a fire, as well as the potential for lightning strikes that could start one. this information is used to issue fire weather watches and warnings, which help alert residents and emergency responders to risk of wildfire.
