Flashcards: Compare ways to reduce impacts of Earth processes

Which solution to reduce the impacts of an earthquake would be beneficial to the MOST people?

Your answer:

Improvements to brand new homes

Your answer:

Evacuate people who live in houses costing over $1 million

Your answer:

Emergency plans for all the citizens over 80 years old

Correct answer:

Earthquake safe building codes

Explanation:

All of these solutions would mitigate the effect of an earthquake on residents in areas that are prone to natural disasters. Still, only one would be beneficial to a large population. Creating building codes that require all new construction and existing buildings to be built to a high safety standard will help save lives and reduce damage. These building codes have regulations that companies must follow to ensure they are stable and safe.

Flashcards: Compare ways to reduce impacts of Earth processes

Tsunamis are severe oceanic storms that cause extreme devastation. They are a series of waves that can be miles long, up to 100 feet high, and can travel at 400 miles per hour. They are caused by significant and sudden disturbances of the sea’s surface. Volcanic eruptions, landslides, earthquakes can trigger a tsunami. A massive wall of water will wash ashore, and there is very little time or warning for those who live in the communities nearby. The series of waves can last for hours, and massive flooding adds to the problem. If you find yourself in a tsunami, get to high ground, keep calm, do not drive, and follow instructions from local officials.

Melissa says that the best solution for reducing the impact tsunamis have on a city is to build a ten-foot wall around the city. Maggie thinks they should give all the residents boats so they can row away after the roads are flooded. Natalie says they should create a siren that goes off when there is a chance of a tsunami so people can evacuate. Brian thinks that each resident should build an emergency supply bag to keep in their car.

When comparing the four different solutions, which is the most reasonable and would have the most benefit to the residents?

Natalie thinks her idea is best because a warning siren would reach all the residents of a town, and evacuation would keep them all safe.

Brian thinks his idea is the best because an emergency kit would allow people quick access to food, water, and medical supplies.

Melissa has the best solution because the ten-foot wall would block the wave from entering the city and flooding it.

Maggie has the best solution because flooding is always a problem, and if residents had a boat, they could still get around town.

Correct answer:

Natalie thinks her idea is best because a warning siren would reach all the residents of a town, and evacuation would keep them all safe.

Explanation:

Tsunamis are a deadly natural hazard and very unpredictable storms. All of the friends came up with ideas to try and reduce the impact a tsunami would have on a town, but only one is the most reasonable and would benefit the majority of residents. A siren to warn residents a tsunami may be approaching would be an excellent early detection system. If residents hear the siren wherever they may be in town, they can get to higher ground or evacuate before the storm arrives. Many people are caught by surprise and are on low grounds or even at the beach when the tsunamis approach so this would be a real life-saver.
