Natural Resources and environmental factors greatly affect population distribution. Topography and accessible transportation as well as the type of transportation also affect population distribution.

Which would usually be studied by a geoligest?

A geologist would usually study the composition, structure, and history of the Earth's crust, as well as processes such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, and rock formations. They might also investigate the distribution of minerals and resources, geological hazards, and the impact of human activities on the environment.


What are the areas in the US that are most affected by hurricanes?

The Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast regions of the United States are most affected by hurricanes, including states like Florida, Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina, and South Carolina. These areas are more prone to experiencing hurricanes due to their geographic location.


How long does it take to recover after a hurricane?

How long is a piece of string? This is a very general question, especially with reference to hurricanes throughout the world. Typically, the USA usually experience minimal loss of lives but a large amount of damage to infrastructure, especially places like Florida, Mississippi and Louisana. Plenty of wealth and AID fro charities enable a speedy a quick recovery. However, this is not the case for areas like the Caribbean who suffer similar hurricanes to the USA. They tend to see a lot more loss of life due to a poorer economy. They usually cannot afford efficient warning systems or protection schemes and lack planning in order to reduce the risk from hurricanes. This would make the aftermath devastating and the Caribbean would barely have time to recover before another hurricane hit. It is important to note that geographical location and distribution of wealth varies throughout the Caribbean so different areas would be affected differently.


Is monel magnetic?

Monel Information from American Special Metals, Corp. www.AmericanSpecialMetals.comAlloying elements other than cobalt and iron in solid solution in nickel lower the Curie temperature. Sufficient copper is present in Monel to lower the Curie temperature so that although Monel is usually slightly magnetic at room temperature, it will become non-magnetic when warmed mildly. When the alloy contains about 1.25% Si, it is non magnetic at room temperature. A Si content of 4% lowers the Curie temperature to approximately -70F. The magnetic properties are not affected greatly by cold work or thermal treatment.


Why are people most affected by tornadoes?

Because they are not very heavy, therefore being easily lifted off the ground and thrown about. Although, to be fair, they aren't the MOST affected, as all smaller animals than humans can be more easily lifted and thus are more affected than people are. The exception to this being birds, because they fly and are usually able to avoid the path of a tornado. Large animals on the other hand, like cows or giraffes, are not as affected because their weight provides more resistance to the tornadoes.
