Earthquake prediction is ________.
A)not possible
B)possible for short times before some earthquakes based on things like animal behavior,but the U.S.does not make use of this method.
C)somewhat good for very long term statistical analyses based on ideas like mapping seismic gaps
D)generally good if you live in an area along a plate boundary because we know how fast the plates are moving and can measure the stress accumulation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Earthquake prediction is not yet possible in terms of specific timing and location, but long-term statistical analyses like mapping seismic gaps can provide some level of prediction. Animal behavior is not a reliable method, and plate boundary areas do not necessarily guarantee accurate prediction.
