Natural Disaster Risk Assessment
CGC1D - Geography of Canada
Unit 2 Performance Task



Description:
Unit 2 focuses on the interconnection between all elements of physical geography including geology, climate, soil, vegetation, as well as a human activity, across the landscape. This performance task brings all topics of the unit together by researching the causes, effects, prevention, and importance that a natural disaster can have on the people impacted.
You will:
Choose a Canadian town/city that you think is at risk of at least one natural hazard/disaster.
Explain and prove why the city is at risk. The characteristics of the geology, climate, vegetation, and human activity around the city will help in your explanation. An example for geology: “San Francisco is at risk for an earthquake because it is located along a transform plate boundary between the Pacific and North American plates. When the plates slip past each other, large earthquakes are possible.” Use the attached organizer to layout ALL your research.
Present this information in an effective way (poster, Prezi, powerpoint, pamphlet, concise report etc.).
Include pictures, maps, or graphs in a meaningful and relevant way. Consider including risk maps/graphs, pictures of previous disasters, etc.).
Checklist/ Look Fors
I have provided a brief overview of the town's spatial significance. Geographic location (map), landform and climate region, population, and other helpful information related to risk assessment.
I have provided an explanation of how the natural hazard occurs.
I have provided a discussion of interrelationships and patterns/trends found between the landform/geology, climate, vegetation, and human activity. I have explained how these relationships increase or decrease the level of risk with my chosen city.
I have provided an outline of the strategies that are being used around the world to limit the impact of a natural hazard from various geographic perspectives.
I have compared the available strategies to the ones actually used by the city to determine if they are truly prepared for a disaster.
I have explained the social, environmental, political, and economic impacts that a hazard would have on my city.
The mark you receive will reflect how well you follow the guidelines stated above. See rubric for a detailed mark breakdown.
GOOD LUCK!

A certain sample of limestone formed when shells from organisms were buried under layers of sediment and experienced pressure. A student classifies the sample as clastic sedimentary rock. What is one problem with this classification

Answers

Answer:

The problem with this classification is clastic sedimentary rocks are not formed with organic elements, that is, they do not form with the remains of organisms, such as shells, for example

Explanation:

The student made an incorrect classification. This is because he classified a rock formed from shells as clastic sedimentary rock.

Shells are organic materials, as they are the remains of living organisms. Organic material is not capable of forming clastic sedimentary rocks, as these rocks are formed only by sediments. Remains of organisms, manage to form a type of rock called organic rock.

what are the three types of materials that affect light differently

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The purpose of this lesson is for the students to learn that light interacts differently with different types of materials. Students will be able to categorize materials into 3 categories based on how the light interacts with those materials: transparent (light shines through), translucent (some light shines through, and opaque (no light shines through).

Answer:

Glass, plastic, mirrors="If a material is a light colour or has a smooth surface, more light will be reflected. Shiny opaque materials, such as mirrors, reflect most of the light that strikes them. If a material is a dark colour or has a rough surface, more light will be absorbed. Opaque objects that absorb light also become warm."

Two nuclei form into one nuclei.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a type of reaction in which two atomic nuclei are combined to form one atomic nuclei and subatomic particles i.e. neutrons or protons with the release of energy. In nuclear fusion reaction, some amount of reactant transform into a new atom because the mass of reactant is higher than the single atom while the remaining amount of reactant transform into energy. This reaction occurs in the sun which provides energy to the whole universe.

Let's talk about geography of the united states

Where is it located, what are its limits, what is its climate, the way of life of its inhabitants, mountains etc.

Answers

The United States is located in North America in the Western Hemisphere. It spans a large amount of the continent, so it covers many areas with unique climates.

The Northeast has a lot of forest cover, and encounters very diverse climates throughout the year, from bitter winters to blistering summers, and have even experienced hurricanes.

The Southeast is generally mild, and experiences warm weather year round. The further south you go, the warmer it gets. You also see more bayous and swamps in the south. The northern ends of the Southeast such as North & South Carolina can experience some snow and colder weather in the winter.

The Midwest is also mild, and generally flat, which makes it ideal for agriculture.

As you go west, you will find more mountainous regions, as well as arid desert landscapes. The Southwest is the pinnacle of these desert landscapes, seeing hot weather in the day, and cold weather in the night, with high temperatures year round.

And finally, the Northwest is a mild climate, with high mountains and abundant rain.

The tiny fruit fly is a superstar of genetics research. Thousands of experiments have explored how flies inherit traits. Wing shape, body color, eye color, and head shape are a few traits under investigation. Fruit flies make good study subjects because they are inexpensive, take little space, and breed quickly. In addition, humans and fruit flies share 75% of their disease genes. By studying fruit-fly genetics, we can learn about human illness.

Short-winged fruit flies studied in the lab cannot fly because they have an allele that causes them to grow tiny wings (w). Normal fruit flies, known as “wild-types”, have fully functional wings (W). The wild-type wing is the dominant allele.
If you cross one short-winged fly (ww) with a wild-type fly (WW), what is the probability of getting a short-winged offspring in the F1 generation?
Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

a. 0

b. There are no short winged genes expressed in this generation

Explanation:

a. What is the probability of getting a short-winged offspring in the F1 generation?

Since we have the ww gene for the short winged fly and the WW gene for the wild type fly.

In the F1 generation, we have

Ww, Ww, Ww and Ww

Since the W wild-type allele is the dominant gene, in the F1 generation, all the fruit flies have wild-type wing.

Probability of short-winged fly, P(short-winged) = number of short-winged genes/total number of genes =

number of short-winged genes = 0

total number of genes = 4  

P(short-winged) = 0/4 = 0

b. Explain your reasoning.

Since the wild winged type allele is the dominant gene, there are no short winged genes expressed in this generation. Thus, the probability of obtaining a short-winged fly in the F1 generation is therefore zero.

A square with sides 8 inches in length has a circle inscribed in it. The circle has a radius of 4. What is the area of part of the square not in the circle.

Answers

16π−32

Explanation:  

To get the area inside the circle but outside the square, we simply get the difference of their areas.

Ac=r2π=42π=16πA square is also a rhombus (with equal diagonals), so we can use the formula for the area of the rhombus. What do we use as the value of the diagonal? The diameter of the circle!As=12d1d2=12d2=12(82)=12(64)=32

Hence, A=16π−32 If you think you won't be able to remember the formula of the rhombus, we can go the usual way of getting the area of the square.As=s2Now, we need to find the length of the side. To do this, we can form an imaginary right isosceles triangle with the radius of the circle as legs and the side as the hypotenuse. How do we know the triangle is right? It's a property of a square, the diagonals form a right angle.Now, we use the Pythagorean theorem to get the side,

c2=a2+b2=2a2=2(42)=32⇒c=4√2

Now we can get the area of the square.As

=s2=(4√2)2=32Hence, A=16π−32

Utilizando los conceptos soberanía alimentaria, agriculturización, monocultivo,


expansión de la frontera agropecuaria, seguridad alimentaria y éxodo rural;


explica la siguiente frase: "LA FABRICA QUE PRODUCE POBRES ESTA EN EL


MODELO RURAL"

Answers

Answer:

La frase "La fábrica que produce pobres está en el modelo rural" es una clara referencia a que el modelo rural, en contraposición con el modelo industrial imperante en la enorme mayoría de los países económicamente desarrollados, es un sistema económico de poca proyección, con baja capacidad de proyectar sus ganancias y beneficios al común de la sociedad, sino por el contrario a un selecto grupo de individuos que desarrolla la actividad a gran escala.

Así, el resto de los pequeños productores no logra escalar en el sistema, cayendo en la pobreza y sin posibilidades de acceder a una verdadera seguridad alimentaria, con lo cual se produce el éxodo rural: los campesinos pobres emigran a las ciudades en busca de oportunidades.

Si un país no tiene una economía compleja y con distintos sectores armónicamente complementarios, es muy difícil que este alcance una verdadera soberanía alimentaria (la capacidad de que cada individuo se alimente y subsista por sus propios medios): la agriculturización de la sociedad, en pleno siglo XXI, es improcedente, dado que el valor agregado de los productos industriales es la fuente de las mayores riquezas en la actualidad.

Por lo tanto, debe abandonarse el sistema rural y agricologanadero, para pasarse a un sistema mixto: industrial y con un sector agropecuario caracterizado por los monocultivos, es decir, la producción específica de bienes agrícolas para la exportación.

what is moraine? , explain it.​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A moraine is any accumulation of unconsolidated debris (regolith and rock), sometimes referred to as glacial till, that occurs in both currently and formerly glaciated regions, and that has been previously carried along by a glacier or ice sheet. It may consist of partly rounded particles ranging in size from boulders (in which case it is often referred to as boulder clay) down to gravel and sand, in a groundmass of finely-divided clayey material sometimes called glacial flour. Lateral moraines are those formed at the side of the ice flow, and terminal moraines were formed at the foot, marking the maximum advance of the glacier. Other types of moraine include ground moraines (till-covered areas forming sheets on flat or irregular topography) and medial moraines (moraines formed where two glaciers meet).

Answers

Answer:

I would measure the scope to see how long, wide it is

Explanation:

Hope This Helps If It Wrong Please Tell Me

A part of a reflecting telescope would you measure to find the aperture is the mirror.

What is a telescope?

Scientists can observe celestial stars using a telescope. When collecting light, refracting telescopes use lenses, while reflecting telescopes utilize reflectors in order to observe an object.

The aperture in refractors refers to the thickness of the lens at the top of the tube. The diameter of the bottom tube's mirror, where light is collected, is used to measure reflectors.

White light is made up of a spectrum of colors, according to Isaac Newton, who developed his reflecting telescope as evidence for this theory in order to see far way objects.

The mirror size of a reflecting telescope is used to calculate the aperture. When selecting a telescope, the aperture—or the width of its primary mirror or lens—should be your primary consideration.

Rivers downcutting into a land surface, in the absence of other forces, usually tend to erode a ________-shaped form when viewed in cross-section across its valley. flat bottomed U delta V groove

Answers

Answer:

Rivers downcutting into a land surface, in the absence of other forces, usually tend to erode a V-shaped form when viewed in cross-section across its valley.

Explanation:

Rivers on steep surfaces tend to have a very high flow speed and the higher the slope of the terrain and the speed of the river, the greater the erosion power of these rivers. Under these conditions, a river can deepen its bed, creating a V-shaped valley, especially at the headwaters of the banks, where the erosion process is usually greater.
