Discuss why short term predictions of earthquakes are not yet entirely reliable, while volcanoes are more easily predicted?

Geography

8 0

Answer:

As discussed below.

Explanation:

  • Predicting earthquakes is a very complex task as compared to that of the volcanic eruptions that take place as a consequence of these quakes. Not even the USGS can accurately predict these earthquakes as an earthquake occurs from deep within the layers of the earth and thus it is quite difficult to predict how shallow these depths are.  
  • <u>Monitoring and predicting the behavior</u> of an active or extinct or dominant type of volcano is much easier as they can be studied based on magma and lava, for example, the swelling inside a volcano can predict that magma has accumulated near the surface.
  • Movement of magma and gases through the hydrothermal vents can be done through the thermal monitoring system also a volcano can bee seen on the surface and a earthquake in the seismic wave form underneath the surface is not.

What are the two important processes involved in lithification of sedimentary rocks?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

B. Cementation and compaction

Explanation:

Sediments compact under pressure, then they lose fluids, these fluids cement together and eventually becomes solid rock, this process is known as lithification.

Cementation is when fluids from the loose rocks bind themselves together. If the loosely bound rocks are inorganic, they form and turn to clastic rocks but if it contains organic matter, it is known as bioclastic.

In essence, this destructive phase of sedimentary rock formation is known as cementation and compaction.
