b. volcano
c. earthquake
d. all of the above user: which of the following human activities can increase the risks of flooding?
a. cultivation
b. planting trees
c. soil management
d. widening rivers

1. The correct answer for the first question is - d. all of the above.

Hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes are all natural disasters that can have a huge negative impact on humans. The hurricanes cause big floodings and have extremely strong winds that destroy most of the things on their way. Volcanoes pollute the air with the release of toxic gases and ash, the lava flows melt everything on their way, and the eruptions deliver rain of huge rocks to fall on the surrounding area. Earthquakes have extremely fast vibrations with whom they can destroy most of the buildings without a problem.

2. The correct answer for the second question is - d. widening rivers.

With the widening of rivers the banks are becoming much weaker because their naturale fence of trees and bushes has been destroyed for this to take action. The trees and bushes both represent a physical obstacle on the surface and with their root systems hold the soil in one place as well taking in huge amounts of water for their needs. When they are gone the soil has no protection whatsoever and every flooding will cause much bigger damage than it would naturally do.

i would expect light rain in pittsburgh throughout the following 24 to 48 hours. the lower/falling weights in urban areas toward the west demonstrate that a low weight framework is moving from west to east toward pittsburgh. low weight frameworks are ordinarily connected with precipitation. the way that you don't see a major drop in temperature in the more western urban areas demonstrates the low weight framework is moving with a warm front, so just light rain would be normal. substantial downpours or progressively vicious climate is just typically connected with chilly fronts, where the warm air is pushed up and over a cool front quickly. this quickly rising air (convection) is what gives you heavier torrential downpours, and other conceivably serious weather conditions.
