How do natural disasters weaken a community’s social infrastructure? @PRAETORIAN.10 a. Social systems are unbalanced by the damage caused by natural disasters. b. Natural disasters tend to target the poorest members of a community. c. The number of natural disasters is increasing across the globe. d. Natural disasters can cause billions of dollars in property damage.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

The social consequences of natural disasters can be far larger than the immediate physical effects of the disaster. Primary damage is the destruction of buildings and roads, and it is the most obvious form of consequence from natural disasters. Secondary, or social, consequences stem from the primary. The impact of natural disasters is strongly linked with social factors; for example, 90 percent of deaths from natural disasters occur in the developing world.

Which of the following is a social consequence of global fuel dependence? a. rising costs of oil b. increase in atmospheric pollution levels c. poverty causing lack of access to fossil fuel resources d. an increase in the production of fossil fuels

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

gimme a sec im on the phone

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA "B" HAHAHHAHAHAHA yeah, mother nature hates poor people hahahaha

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

a is debatable, as one could argue it brings communites closer together

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

i know when i was in the army and we would go help out disaster zones rebuild everyone was super greatful

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

but then again "d" is also contestable as not all natural disasters cause maximum damage

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Unsure..

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

c only seems likely because our populace is expanding exponentially and we are inhabiting places never before known and our technology is boss and picks up the slighest tremmor

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

i would say D for the first q

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

A social consequence of global fuel dependence is a reduced sense of security for the population. A fuel dependence means the government must compromise, which reduces security.

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

well your second question encompases all of the options

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

its just choosing one over the other i guess

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

fuel dependance doesnt cost the environment, so B is a sneak answer which is wrong

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

fuel use does

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So.. the second question is C?

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

thats a negative on c as most poverty peoples are forced to mine the fossil fuels etc

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

obviously not to man the expensive oil rigs but just manual labour etc

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

D: we only have a finite amount of resources so unlikely

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

hello???????
