Question

Which of the following is NOT a natural disaster caused by El Nino?

Floods
Droughts
Malaria
Famine

Medals given :D

Answer 1

Ire but I think it is Droughts

Answer 2

*I'm not sure*

Answer 3

"Droughts" is correct.

Answer 4

Never mind after doing some research I believe it is either malaria or famine

Answer 5

wait it is

Answer 6

that is not what I found when I did some research

Answer 7

El Niño can cause floods, which wipes out food sources; therefore, it can cause famine. It brings excessive rainfall, so there wouldn't be any droughts. Also, I don't think malaria and famine are "natural" disasters, are they?

Answer 8

I dont know

Answer 9

I'd choose droughts, carlaelaine.

Answer 10

Yeah same

Answer 11

Malaria should be the answer

Answer 12

el nino takes away water from one side and gives it to another site so it causes droughts

but for malaria it is a secondary effect and not entirely natural so you got= your answer

Answer 13

Diseases, like malaria, are entirely natural.
In forensic science, if someone dies from a disease, we do say that they died of natural causes.

And if they spread far and wide enough to be called an "epidemic" or "pandemic,"
we could label them disasters.

I would go with drought.

Answer 18

@InYourHead just maybe the internet supports me ,i dont know but i think it likes me.

i ll take him on a date.

Answer 19

Quite frankly I don't give a crap about yahoo answers, or chacha.
We could get 100 different answers to the same question, from those sites. And nothing would set apart the correct answer.

But I was interested in the THIRD link that you posted.

This one:
https://apps.who.int/inf-fs/en/fact192.html

It's an actual article from the World Health Organization.
One that's ACTUALLY credible.

And it's interesting:
the article tells us that floods, drought, malaria, and famine are ALL brought on by El Niño.

Answer 20

These are the kinds of questions and answers that we see on Yahoo:
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BfU33pZ437M/TUsfmXt1a5I/AAAAAAAAB2k/03IpP67NmSw/s640/yahoo+answers+funny+21.png

Think about that, the next time you feel like citing yahoo answers as a reliable source of information.

Answer 21

@InYourHead that was so funny that is true the first gave both our answers

to me it is not very possible malaria can be one of them

Answer 22

Why not?

Answer 23

it is a disease and i dont think it could be termed a direct natural disaster from El nino

Answer 24

Diseases are natural.

Answer 25

No we know how malaria comes about the female anopheles mosquito and this cant entirely be related to El nono

Answer 26

What are the four types of Manners of Death?

Answer 27

i have no idea

Answer 28

Research it. You're so good at researching aren't you?
Look on Yahoo answers if you need to.

Answer 29

no i dont visit yahoo answers that is why i took this one there because i knew some people must have attempted these question too

Answer 30

there is almost no new question we ll be seing today

you can see those answers were like 3 years old there is an answer to this question and it is there somewhere

Answer 31

1. Homicide
2. Suicide
3. Accidental
4. Natural causes

Answer 32

Floods, droughts, malaria, famine,
all four of those things can kill people. Yes?

Answer 33

thank you

now the question here is am i RIGHT OR ARE YOU RIGHT ABOUT THE Q ABOVE

Answer 34

If someone dies in a car crash,
which manner of death is it?

Answer 35

Oh humor me. Quite frankly I don't care if you get the answer to your question. But you will if you follow along with me.

Answer 36

accidental

Answer 37

How about if someone gets shot?
Which manner of death would that be?

Answer 38

homicide

Answer 39

Okay. That's right.

Now, how about if someone dies from the flu?

Answer 40

he is a morone but i ll say natural

Answer 41

Lots and lots of people die from the flu. Every year, up to 500,000 people around the world.

But yes, it is natural.

Answer 42

if i ll say suicide if he refused to see the doctor

Just messing with you

Answer 43

How about malaria?

What if someone dies from malaria?

Answer 44

a morone too but natural

Answer 45

Is there a reason for why you tell me that malaria isn't natural?

Answer 46

By the way, it's "moron."

Answer 47

natural in relation to El nino is the point not just natural on its own

Answer 48

MORONE IS from my dictionary

Answer 49

Then you're not using an English dictionary.

Here, take this one:
http://dictionary.reference.com/

Try looking up both "morone" and "moron."

And you can decide which one you're talking about.

Answer 50

moron is the one i am talking about

Answer 51

who on earth pays attention to that

Answer 52

ohh ohh i know someone who does @InYourHead does

she does ohhhh

Answer 53

I pay attention to a lot more than that, and believe me, you're not the most fluent English speaker in the world.

~~~~~~~~~

Again, I did like one of the articles that you sent me.

https://apps.who.int/inf-fs/en/fact192.html

The only one that didn't come from Yahoo or ChaCha.

The article clearly tells us that all floods, famine, malaria, and drought are all brought on by El Nino.

It even talks about malaria epidemics.
And if that isn't considered a natural disaster, I don't know what is.

Answer 54

i accept your point and i ll love to accept you re right but please just GIVE ME SOME TIME TO CONSIDER THE ANSWER AND SEE IF MY MIND CAN ACCEPT THAT

Answer 55

You can take all the time you want.

I said "droughts" and my answer was wrong.

After reading the article that you posted, I can't really tell which answer the question is looking for.

Answer 56

Aside from the topic, though:

I think our cultural differences are very fascinating. Your culture, and my own.

More precisely, I'm having a hard time predicting what would offend you, and what would not.

Answer 57

Droughts might not be so natural after all

i ve looked at the answers again and you just might be right

i just want you to think of natural in this sense as "spontaneous" ,i am not very good at english ans so the word in quotes is kind of like an idea of what i am trying to say

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS A DISASTER (DEFINITION) AND OCCURS IN A KINDA SPONTANEOUS WAY

Answer 58

You're from an Arabic culture, aren't you?

Answer 59

My answer was wrong. And please don't make me defend that point. That would be ridiculous.

Answer 60

I AM NOT OFFENDED BY ANYTHING YOU SAY

I JUST LIKE SOUNDING OFFENDED BUT I NEVER GET OFFENDED

YOU PISS ME OFF JUST MESSING WITH YOU

Answer 61

SARCASM IS MY THING AND I AM A MELANIN FILLED INDIVIDUAL

Answer 62

Melanin?

....That's skin and hair pigmentation.

Answer 63

YEAH YOU GET IT RIGHT
GLORY TO ALLAH

Answer 64

Right. Arabic and American culture.
Very different from one another.
Including what causes people to become angry and offended.

It's interesting. But now's not the time to talk about it, I know.

Answer 65

today is kinda my off day i actually got a question right in my quiz but couldnt answer it here i am really not so happy abt it

Answer 66

What question? This question?

Answer 67

no i ll send it to you

Answer 68

Color blindness is a sex-linked recessive trait. A mother with normal color vision and a color blind father have a color blind daughter. Which statement is true about the offspring? A) All of their daughters must be color blind. B) Some of their sons can have normal color vision. C) Their daughters might carry a gene for color blindness. D) All of their sons will carry a gene for color blindness.

Answer 69

honestly my eyes hurt and it gives me headache sometimes

i am always on the computer

Answer 70

So the answer's C, yes?

Answer 71

Wait....their daughters would DEFINITELY carry a colorblind gene, since the dad has color blindness.

Answer 72

i just got accepted into an MPH prog can i have your full support most of the times

when you are free

Answer 73

the answer is B
i took A because my eyes hurt and i was reading color blindness as dorminant

Answer 74

I think the answer's actually B.

Some sons will be colorblind,
and some will have normal vision.

But ALL daughters would at least carry the gene,
and some would be color blind.

Answer 75

Yeah, okay. That's good.

Answer 76

of course you re right

Answer 77

i got it wrong

Answer 78

Mistakes happen.

I'm going to leave this chat, before it gets too overcrowded with comments that do not matter to the question.

Answer 79

of course my MPH your hand
