Predicting when an earthquake will occur is known as _______. _______ energy is what gathers in a fault through strains. When ow
ners of established buildings take the initiative to reinforce existing structures so that they can withstand severe earthquakes, they're participating in _______. A tsunami in Japan caused a meltdown of reactors at _______. Respond to the following based on your reading. Briefly discuss how strain in a fault can be determined and used to produce an earthquake forecast.
5. The best way to determine how strain accumulates in a fault is with GPS measurements of plate motion. As ground on each side of a fault moves, the potential energy that accumulates in the fault can be estimated and used to forecast the rough timing, magnitude, and location of an earthquake.
I am pretty sure that this is the answer because the matter itself is not changing, it is simply changing shape. it would only be a chemical change f the composition of the matter changed.
