- Q1Which design solution is most effective in reducing the impacts of flooding in a community?Increasing the number of parking spaces in public areas.Building rainwater catchment systems to collect and store rainwater.Installing more street lights around the neighborhoods.Implementing more parks and green spaces in the city.30s3-ESS3-1
- Q2What is a potential benefit of planting trees to reduce the impact of a heatwave in urban areas?Trees attract more birds and wildlife to the area.Trees provide shade and release moisture, cooling the air around them.Trees offer a natural barrier against high winds and storms.Trees can increase property values by making areas more attractive.30s3-ESS3-1
- Q3Which engineering solution effectively mitigates the impact of strong winds during a hurricane?Using solar panels to provide backup power.Installing hurricane shutters on windows and doors.Building houses on elevated foundations.Painting houses with water-resistant paint.30s3-ESS3-1
- Q4How can constructing levees help in reducing the impacts of river flooding?Levees improve the scenic beauty of riverbanks with walking paths.Levees act as barriers to prevent water from overflowing into populated areas.Levees enhance the habitat for fish and other aquatic life.Levees increase the speed of river flow, reducing water accumulation.30s3-ESS3-1
- Q5Why are permeable pavements considered a beneficial design solution for managing stormwater in urban areas?They are less expensive to maintain than traditional pavements.They improve the aesthetic appeal of roads and sidewalks.They reflect more sunlight, keeping surfaces cooler.They allow rainwater to soak through and reduce surface runoff.30s3-ESS3-1
- Q6What is the advantage of installing weather-resistant roofing materials in areas prone to hailstorms?They prevent roof damage from hail impact, reducing repair costs.They enhance the appearance of the building with new colors.They provide better insulation, reducing heating and cooling costs.They increase the height of the building for better views.30s3-ESS3-1
- Q7How can the implementation of early warning systems reduce the impacts of tornadoes?They enhance communication between local governments and weather stations.They provide advance notice, allowing people time to take shelter safely.They decrease the occurrence of tornadoes by predicting their paths.They increase the community's awareness of general weather patterns.30s3-ESS3-1
- Q8What benefit do green roofs provide in minimizing the impact of heavy rainfall in urban environments?Green roofs absorb rainwater, reducing the amount of runoff.Green roofs enhance wireless signal strength through higher vegetation.Green roofs decrease soil erosion by stabilizing the earth below.Green roofs increase building height, providing better views.30s3-ESS3-1
- Q9What is a key advantage of building sea walls to protect coastal communities from storm surges?They improve the scenic views of the beach for tourism.They allow for better fish habitats by providing stable structures.They act as a barrier, preventing waves from flooding inland areas.They reduce coastal wildlife from entering residential zones.30s3-ESS3-1
- Q10How can designing buildings with elevated foundations help minimize the damage caused by flooding?Elevated foundations offer additional parking space beneath buildings.Elevated foundations enhance cooling by allowing airflow under buildings.Elevated foundations prevent floodwaters from reaching the main floors of buildings.Elevated foundations improve soil stability by distributing weight.30s3-ESS3-1
