How has the use of technology helped people to overcome nature’s obstacles? Analyse.
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
Technology has significantly helped humans overcome natural obstacles by:
1. Improving Accessibility: Technologies like bridges, tunnels, and railways have made previously inaccessible terrains reachable.
2. Agricultural Advancements: Irrigation, fertilizers, and machinery have enabled farming in arid and difficult regions.
3. Weather Predictions: Satellites and forecasting systems help mitigate disasters like cyclones and floods.
