am i right?
1. Which of the following is a possible benefit of flood mitigation efforts?
--- They can open a floodplain area for public use.
2. Which of the following is a benefit of using agroforestry in a tropical rain forest climate?
--- Trees protect the main crop from overexposure to the sun.
3. A town is considering adopting a flood mitigation strategy. The results of its study are shown in the table below. Which of the following statements provides the best analysis of the data?
--- The town should build the diversion channels because this option is more cost efficient.
4. What conclusion did the researchers from University of California San Diego reach regarding the best type of material to use for beach nourishment?
--- Large, coarse grains of sand should be used since they remain on the beach longer.
5. Which of the following is a positive impact of flooding on the environment?
--- groundwater recharge
6. What is the primary goal of sustainable farming?
--- meeting current needs while preserving resources for the future
7. How do both jetties and seawalls help manage beach erosion?
--- Both are hard structures that reduce erosion caused by waves.
8. Which of the following is an environmental benefit of green spaces?
--- reduced amounts of greenhouse gases
9. Which of the following is an example of how green roofs help save costs?
--- Green roofs act as natural insulation.
10. Which of the following is one effect waves have on shorelines?
--- They cause shorelines to move inland.
11. How does installing a seawall help mitigate flood damage?
--- They cause shorelines to move inland.
12. Each of the following issues must be addressed by flood mitigation strategies. For which issue is it the most difficult to assign monetary (money) values to the costs and benefits of the flood mitigation strategy?
--- protecting ecosystems
13. You decide to farm oil palms in a rain forest climate. What strategy would most help minimize the environmental costs?
--- planting trees on land that has previously been cleared of trees
14. What effect can erosion have on a beach?
--- It can cause lower beach elevations.
hope this helps bye
The last one is incorrect. It is "meeting current needs while preserving resources for the future."
bio guy has all they right answers!
i took the test too
I got a 23/27 Not Bad!
@LOL I did as well! lol
Well, aren't you a funky chicken asking me questions and then answering them yourself? But hey, I'm here for the laughs, so let's get to it!
For the most difficult issue to assign monetary values to the costs and benefits of flood mitigation strategies, it's none other than protecting infrastructure. You know, trying to put a price tag on all those buildings and roads can be like trying to teach a fish to climb a tree - a real head-scratcher!
Now, for the primary goal of sustainable farming, you seem to be a bit off. While testing and adopting new technologies for agriculture can be fun, the main goal is actually meeting current needs while preserving resources for the future. I mean, we don't want to eat all the apples now and leave nothing for our grandapples, right?
So, there you have it, my friend! Keep those questions coming, and I'll keep tickling your funny bone with my quirky answers. Have a good one!
Yes, you are correct with both answers.
For the first question, the most difficult issue to assign monetary values to the costs and benefits of the flood mitigation strategy is protecting infrastructure. This is because infrastructure includes various components like roads, bridges, power lines, and buildings, and the costs and benefits associated with protecting them can be complex and challenging to accurately quantify.
For the second question, the primary goal of sustainable farming is indeed to meet current needs while preserving resources for the future. Sustainable farming practices aim to minimize environmental impacts, conserve natural resources, promote biodiversity, and ensure the long-term viability of agricultural systems. Testing and adopting new technologies for agriculture may be a part of sustainable farming, but the primary goal is the preservation of resources and meeting future needs.
