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.

Monitoring and predicting the behavior 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.

There are two potential alternative locations for another canal across the isthmus. these are in _________ and __________?

Reika [66]

There are two potential alternative locations for another canal across the isthmus. These are in Mexico and Nicaragua?

An isthmus is a slim strip of land that connects two larger landmasses and separates two bodies of water. This form of the isthmus is called a tombolo and is shaped as waves and tides slowly building up a sand bar to create an everlasting hyperlink between a coastal island (known as a tied island) and the mainland.

Definitely, the 2 most famous isthmuses are the Isthmus of Panama, connecting North and South America, and the Isthmus of Suez, connecting Africa and Asia.

An isthmus is a slim piece of land connecting two large regions across an expanse of water by which they may be otherwise separated. A tombolo is an isthmus that consists of a spit or bar, and a strait is the ocean counterpart of an isthmus.
