Compose a paragraph explaining the problems with the United States government’s policies dealing with natural disasters in 2005. What did the country do to improve their policies?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The disaster response plans are now integrated and administred by FEMA.

Explanation:

Hurricane Katrina was a category 5 hurricane that struck the southern United States between August 23-31, 2005. Katrina caused devastating damage to New Orleans, Lousiana, flooding 80% of the city and causing at least 1,836 deaths. The hurricane caused 125 billion in damages and rendered the city uninhabitable for weeks. It is considered one of the worst natural disasters in the modern history of the United States.

The government failed to respond adequately to the hurricane. Local and state authorities were quickly overwhelmed, and they weren't adequately prepared or equipped to provide relief or mantain order to the population of New Orleans. As a result of a lack of coordination, federal forces, including the military, were several days late. In order to solve this, future disaster response plans drawn up by local and state authorities are now integrated and administered by FEMA, the Federal Emergency anagement Agency. It is considered that a centralized approach would mean a quicker and swifter response to future natural disasters.

_____ Magma cools and hardens to form new crust.

_____ Magma is forced up towards the crust.

_____ The crust eventually falls into trenches and is recycled back to magma.

_____ Rock is pulled apart and magma fills the gap.

Answers

Answer:

1. Magma is forced up towards the crust.

2. Rock is pulled apart and magma fills the gap.

3. Magma cools and hardens to form a new crust.

4. The crust eventually falls into trenches and is recycled back to magma.

Explanation:

When there is a more than usual activity at a particular place in the mantle, it results in more pressure and magma to be pushed toward the surface. As this process goes on, gradually, the tectonic plate above it gets ripped apart as the magma progresses, breaks through, and pushes them away. The gap is constantly growing, so the magma continuous to come out constantly.

Because the magma, in this case, comes out on the seafloor, it hardens very quickly in the water, creating new rocks, thus new oceanic crust. As new crust is constantly formed, the one formed earlier is pushed to the sides and over the course of tens or hundreds of millions of years, it will come in a situation to be involved in a convergent plate boundary where it will subduct in a trench and will gradually melt and get recycled by the magma in the mantle.

What similarity do the narrators of the excerpts share?"From Lithuania to the Chicago Stockyards"We were tired out when we reached the stockyards, so we stopped on the bridge and looked into the river out there. It was so full of grease and dirt and sticks and boxes that it looked like a big, wide, dirty street, except in some places, where it boiled up. It made me sick to look at it. When I looked away I could see on one side some big fields full of holes, and these were the city dumps. On the other side were the stockyards, with twenty tall chimneys. The wind blew a big smell from them to us. Then we walked on between the yards and the dumps and all the houses looked bad and poor. In our house my room was in the basement. I lay down on the floor with three other men and the air was rotten. I did not go to sleep for a long time. I knew then that money was everything I needed. My money was almost gone and I thought that I must get a job, for this was not like home. Here money was everything."American and I"Day after day, week after week, all the contact I got with America was handling dead buttons. The money I earned was hardly enough to pay for bread and rent. I didn't have a room to myself. I didn't even have a bed. I slept on a mattress on the floor in room occupied by a dozen other immigrants. I was always hungry-oh, so hungry! The scant meals I could afford only sharpened my appetite for real food. But I felt myself better off than working in the "American" family. With all the hunger and darkness of the sweat-shop, I had at least the evening to myself. And all night was mine.
