Long-term prediction methods include ________.
A)early warning systems
B)behavior of animals
C)seismic risk assessment
D)recognition of foreshocks

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term prediction methods refer to the assessment of seismic risk over a longer period of time, typically over a period of years or decades. Seismic risk assessment involves analyzing the geological and seismic history of a region to assess the likelihood of earthquakes of a certain magnitude and frequency occurring in the future. Early warning systems and recognition of foreshocks are short-term prediction methods, while the behavior of animals is largely experimental and does not have a proven track record for accurate earthquake prediction. Therefore, seismic risk assessment is the most suitable answer.
