According to a Facebook post by Yan Ang Muntinlupa (2020), the Muntinlupa City Department of Disaster Resilience and Management showed that eight out of nine barangays in the city have flood-prone areas, with only Ayala Alabang as an exception. This is commonly due to their geographical locations—low-lying areas, especially those that are near Laguna Bay, are more prone to flooding. Aside from this, high urbanization in the city is also said to contribute to such occurrences (Moneymax, 2021).]]> 2021-11-17 10:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiamariecortezpharma/i604q20iy37d543o/wish/1896546403 sophiamariecortezpharma https://padlet.com/sophiamariecortezpharma/i604q20iy37d543o/wish/1896548239 2021-11-17 10:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiamariecortezpharma/i604q20iy37d543o/wish/1896548239 sophiamariecortezpharma https://padlet.com/sophiamariecortezpharma/i604q20iy37d543o/wish/1896550023 2021-11-17 10:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiamariecortezpharma/i604q20iy37d543o/wish/1896550023 sophiamariecortezpharma https://padlet.com/sophiamariecortezpharma/i604q20iy37d543o/wish/1896550441 Several technological advancements have also been done to combat climate change. One of which is the invention of offshore wind turbines. In the same way as onshore wind turbines, their blades catch the wind’s energy thereby causing their rotor to turn. In this, electricity is then generated. The only difference between the two is that offshore wind turbines take advantage of the wind produced in high seas, which is faster than the wind blowing onto the land due to the absence of friction on water.]]> 2021-11-17 10:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiamariecortezpharma/i604q20iy37d543o/wish/1896550441 sophiamariecortezpharma https://padlet.com/sophiamariecortezpharma/i604q20iy37d543o/wish/1896550947 Considering that there is a higher wind speed on waters, a greater amount of renewable energy can then be fastly generated from offshore wind turbines. Since they generate renewable energy, they do not release emissions that can contribute to air and water pollutions. On the other hand, they can also be costly and be difficult to build and maintain due to their location. They are also very prone to damages from heavy and high-speed winds from storms. Due to these, having offshore winds can also add to problems or challenges that are being faced by the world today.]]> 2021-11-17 10:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiamariecortezpharma/i604q20iy37d543o/wish/1896550947
