Question

Earthquakes can be predicted on a short-term basis with considerable accuracy (correct time and place most of the time) by careful measurement of precursor phenomena such as foreshocks and ground deformation.
a) True
b) False

Answer 1

The answer:
B) False

Answer 2

Answer:

B) false

Explanation:

While part of the scientific community hold that, taking into account non-seismic precursors and given enough resources to study them extensively, prediction might be possible, most scientists are pessimistic and some maintain that earthquake prediction is inherently impossible.
