Question

URGENT WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Scientists have gathered data on how often heat waves occur in cities across the United States. The frequency of heat waves is the number of heat waves that occur each year. The scientists analyzed the data to find out how the frequency of heat waves changed between 1961 and 2019. For example, they found that Baltimore, MD, had three more heat waves per year in 2019 than in 1961. The table shows the change in frequency for six cities.


Use the data in the table to answer the following questions.

How are the changes in the frequencies of heat waves in the six cities similar? How are they different?

What do the data indicate about the likelihood of future heat waves? How would you advise these cities to prepare for this future weather?

Answer 1

How are the changes in the frequencies of heat waves in the six cities similar? They are similar because they all get bigger. There are no negative numbers in the charts, so there have been more than before.

How are they different? They are different because they describe heat waves in different states. The farther west you go, the more heat waves there are.

What do the data indicate about the likelihood of future heat waves?

It shows that states farther west get more, therefore the western states should be more worried about heat waves.

How would you advise these cities to prepare for this future weather?

Use air conditioners, fans, and stay hydrated.
