Mrs. Elsa is correct, and the graphic supports her claim. The rock layers should be lined up where the same colors are next to each other, but there has been a shift in the layers caused by an earthquake. When an earthquake shakes the rock formations, the layers are shifted, and there is a disruption in their pattern. This cannot be reversed. It provides scientists with evidence that there was once an earthquake in this area and gives them useful information.

Fossils are a good representation of what the environment was at the time the organism died. If these fossils are of marine creatures, that means they were living in an area that was underwater or near the water. The site is currently described as an inland desert, so the environment has changed over time, making the statement correct.

The rock layers change through the years, and their location within the formation can assist scientists and researchers learn how old each layer is. The oldest layers are at the bottom of the structure, and the newest layers are at the top. Section G is the oldest layer of the rock.

Many communities face similar problems with different types of severe natural hazards: hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes. To keep the community safe and help the residents make positive changes, all of the plans to generate ideas would be beneficial. Engineers, weather experts, meteorologists, and community members all have a role to play in preparing for these dangerous storms. By working together to reduce the impacts of the storms, the community can hopefully have a better outcome.

The statement in the question is correct. There is no way to eliminate hurricanes, tornadoes, or other natural disasters, but there are ways to reduce the impact that they have on communities. Many towns have task forces with different community members on them to generate ideas and plans for reducing the negative effect that these storms can have. In areas that frequently receive these types of storms, there are codes and rules about the way buildings have to be constructed and where they can be located. Simple changes to buildings and towns can make a big difference.

Giving residents more time to prepare for tsunamis could be a way to reduce the impacts of natural disasters significantly. If people had an early warning system, there would be more time for evacuations, preparation, and getting to higher ground. This is an idea that has been implemented in places that experience these monster waves. There has been an increase in the number of survivors and a decrease in the number of casualties.

Natural hazards are events that are not human-made and harm communities. The events have to be naturally occurring and not influenced by humans. Earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions are all examples of events that are generated by nature, and there are no influences by humans.

The statement is false. There are multiple ways that a city and its residents could be protected and reduce the impact of an earthquake. Building houses that can withstand the trembling, stronger foundations and roofs, early warning systems, emergency supplies prepared, and strict building codes are all ways to reduce the negative impacts of an earthquake.

Many communities face similar problems with different types of severe natural hazards: hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes. To keep the community safe and help the residents make positive changes, new safety ideas and measures need to be taken to strengthen the structures and land. Adding new construction that is closer to the water would NOT help reduce the impact of storms, but could increase damage to the buildings. Floodwaters rise and swell near the shore, so moving houses, further inland would be a better idea.
