Why is New Orleans vulnerable to flooding? Check all that apply.
The city does not have an adequate rain-catching system.
The city is near the ocean.
The city is below sea level.
The city is built in a bowl between levees.
The city cannot quickly remove water.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The city is below sea level.

The city cannot quickly remove water.

Explanation:

Water flows from the place with higher elevation to the place with lower elevation. This make the water from the ocean can easily flowed into new Orleans every time they experience a heavy rain and caused the flood.

One way to deal with this is to created a separate container /dams within the city to remove the water. (they need to find away to relocate the water that flowed in to these container).

New Orleans hasn't develop a good enough mechanism to do this. Making the amount of water that flow in due to the difference of elevation come in at a much faster rate that the city able to remove.

Nepal’s rich cultural heritage is woven into the fabric of everyday life. From the temples and palaces in Patan Durbar Square to the small alcoves holding devotional statues nested on busy streets all over Kathmandu, Nepal’s unique architectural and cultural heritage is recognised worldwide. This remarkable heritage is not only part of what makes Nepal a popular travel destination, but also something that needs to be properly protected, maintained and preserved, so that future generations can enjoy it as much as we do today.

US support

For over two decades the United States has actively supported efforts to preserve cultural heritage sites across Nepal by restoring and reinforcing them, and in the process, mitigating the impact of potential natural disasters and contributing to the tourism potential as well as the sustainment of livelihoods based in traditional crafts such as stone carving and wood working. The United States Government’s Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) has already invested over $2.2 million in 19 different projects. These efforts include seismic strengthening of major cultural heritage sites throughout Nepal, including sections of the Patan Royal Palace which survived the 2015 earthquakes largely intact. This strengthening proved effective, and presents a way forward for better protection of Nepal’s cultural heritage sites.

The United States Embassy is pleased to have forged a unique partnership with Miyamoto Global Disaster Relief—a US-based nonprofit organisation, to implement our latest Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation project. The $700,000

grant will repair the Gaddi Baithak in Kathmandu Durbar Square and improve the palace’s structural safety and resilience to earthquakes. The Gaddi Baithak is a location of cultural significance for Nepalis

and a symbol of Nepal to the world. I am proud that we will be a part of its restoration and hope that it serves as a symbol of our commitment to continue cultural preservation in Nepal.

As the earthquake damage to historic monuments in Nepal demonstrated, cultural heritage needs a place within every nation’s and every community’s integrated emergency preparedness and response plans, where it is often overlooked. Over the past several decades, communities and governments worldwide made progress in developing preparedness and response plans for public health and safety emergencies and myriad natural disasters, including earthquakes. Historic buildings and other types of cultural heritage are the backdrops of our lives and tell the story of where we come from. They must be a part of the plan.

Traditional techniques

Architects, engineers, and seismologists are looking directly into the damaged and ruined historic buildings in order to understand why certain buildings survived the earthquakes and others collapsed. In their search for answers, they have made important discoveries and expanded our knowledge of the structural strengths and limitations of traditional Newari and other architecture indigenous to the

Compare the myth of the "Wild West" with its reality. What elements of truth would these stories have contained, and what was fabricated or left out? What were the actual conditions for cowboys, ranchers, and women living in mining towns or along the cattle range?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The reality is that it was an important period in time of the United States history in which people had to live under certain difficult conditions to prosper in the west.

The facts were that this period is considered to begin after the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804 after US President Thomas Jefferson purchased the Louisiana territory.

The actual conditions for cowboys, ranchers, and women living in mining towns or along the cattle range were difficult. They had to really work hard in uncertain times when nothing was taken for granted.

The myths of the myth of the "Wild West" are the by-product of the folklore of people that tried to give meaning to the day to day stories and situations that happened during those complicated years, in which, practically, there was no law enforcement in that region so many people wanted to take advantage of the work of other farmers, and the presence of brave figures that tried to defend what was theirs and started to make justice by their own hands.
