Answer 1

Question 7:

The term given to the process described is b) Beach nourishment. This process involves adding sand to a beach to counteract erosion and maintain the beach's width and profile.

Question 8:

The statement refers to ways to lessen the impact of flooding. The option that does not align with flood mitigation practices would need to be clarified, as the options seem incomplete. However, typically, methods such as installing drainage basins and redirecting flood waters are indeed effective for flood management.

If "Safe management of flood waters" is the only option presented, it is not logically excluded from flood mitigation strategies. If you provide the complete list, I can help identify the option that is not effective.
