Delvig [45]3 years ago

An earthquake prediction must define 3 elements: 1) the date and time, 2) the location, and 3) the magnitude.

Yes, some people say they can predict earthquakes, but here are the reasons why their statements are false:

They are not based on scientific evidence, and earthquakes are part of a scientific process. For example, earthquakes have nothing to do with clouds, bodily aches and pains, or slugs.
They do not define all three of the elements required for a prediction.
Their predictions are so general that there will always be an earthquake that fits; such as, (a) There will be a M4 earthquake somewhere in the U.S. in the next 30 days. (b) There will be a M2 earthquake on the west coast of the U.S. today.

Answer:

No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.

Which of these best describes how an appropriate star chart is selected to locate objects in the sky?
Sergio [31]
The layout of the stars in the sky is determined by the date, time of night, and your location (mainly latitude). So to pick the best star chart, you should go with the one that's closest to the present date and your location, then make allowance for what time it is. Everything in the sky moves about a degree every 4 minutes.

Which of the following methods of soil conservation uses the roots of plants as anchors in the soil? (2 points) Adding fertilize
julsineya [31]
I believe the correct answer is the second option. Planting of trees on sloped surfaces is a method of conservation that utilizes the roots of plants. Planting trees on such areas would prevent hazards and maintain the soil formation future since the roots would hold the soil together preventing or minimizing any soil erosion.
