Earthquakes can cause great damage and injury. The solution to this problem is to warn people about possible earthquakes through various forms of media:radio, television, on-line sources. Scientists constantly monitor seismic data to warn people of potential earthquake danger. Which statement BEST summarizes the quality of the solution to this problem?
|
|
The solution is well designed as early warning can help scientists control earthquakes
|
|
|
The solution is poorly designed since we are not doing anything to stop the destruction of an earthquake
|
|
|
The solution is adequate considering the resources we have; we cannot stop an earthquake but we can alert people so they can protect themselves.
|
|
|
The solution is well designed because seismic data can help scientists stop earthquakes as well as warn the human population of the up-coming possible dangers.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Earthquakes can result in the ground shaking, soil liquefaction, landslides, fissures, avalanches, fires and tsunamis.
Detailed explanation-2: -What Causes an Earthquake? Earthquakes are caused due to sudden tectonic movements in the earth’s crust. When the tectonic plates slide over one another, there is a cause of orogeny which results in earthquakes and volcanoes. These disturbances cause vibrations that spread in all directions.
Detailed explanation-3: -The damage caused by earthquakes is from ground shaking, ground rupture, landslides, tsunamis, and liquefaction. Earthquake damage from fires is the most important secondary effect.
