Question
The National Seismic Hazard Map classified one location as having the “highest hazard” and another location as having the “lowest hazard.” Based on this classification, which conclusion can you draw between the "highest hazard" and "lowest hazard" locations?(1 point)
Responses
There will never be an earthquake in the "lowest hazard" location in the future.
There will never be an earthquake in the "lowest hazard" location in the future.
There will definitely be an earthquake in the "highest hazard" location.
There will definitely be an earthquake in the "highest hazard" location.
There is more likely to be an earthquake in a "highest hazard" location than in a "lowest hazard" location.
There is more likely to be an earthquake in a "highest hazard" location than in a "lowest hazard" location.
"Highest hazard" locations are better prepared for an earthquake than the "lowest hazard" locations.
