Question

Nevada has several gaps in the belt of historic seismicity, suggesting residents in these seismic gaps may be in for some future earthquakes.
1. True
2. False

Answer 1

Answer:

1. True

Explanation:

• A seismic gap is an active fault known for making significant earthquakes and states that after a long period of time the displacement of any segments along the fault can lead to earthquakes.

• Any large and long standing gaps are thus considered to be under future earthquakes. Example of the san Andreas faults that have recorded seismic activity.
