Do cars and houses produce the same amount of pollution?
No, cars generally produce more pollution than houses. Cars emit carbon dioxide and various pollutants from their exhaust, while houses mainly contribute to pollution through energy consumption, which can come from sources like natural gas or coal. However, the overall pollution levels from houses can vary depending on factors like energy efficiency and renewable energy usage.
How will we build houses stronger because of the floods in climate change or global warming?
Strength is not really the issue when it comes to floods. Stronger houses are more able to withstand earthquakes, but they can be flooded just as easily. The key to surviving floods is to build your house at a higher elevation. Another alternative would be to live on a houseboat. If it's already floating, it won't flood. There are also other ways to build houses that are less vulnerable to floods. In some areas houses are built on stilts. Certainly if you are expecting floods, you would not build a basement, which is the part of the house that is most vulnerable to flooding.
Which types of houses are the safest for a hurricane storm?
Houses built with reinforced concrete or masonry are the safest for hurricane storms due to their durability and ability to withstand high winds. Additionally, houses with impact-resistant windows and a reinforced roof structure can also help minimize damage during a hurricane.
How lichens indicate pollution?
lichens are sensitive to sulfur dioxide, they are biological indicators. The cleaner the air the more lichens will grow. Therefore if there are houses right by a road, if you look on the roof there would be less lichens as there would be more sulfur dioxide in the air because of pollution. Hope this helps By Troy Flynn
