animals can spot the warning signs that appear before an earthquake. Human beings do not have this natural ability how human beings overcome this and ability and predict earthquakes?
A) seismographs to record ground movements
B) magnetic compasses to detect magnetic disturbances
C) anemometer to check for sudden changes in wind direction
D) thermometers to check for any abnormal rise in air temperature
You didn't read the couple of sentences on the link.
Mike will need to go with whatever his text says. I lived in CA for over 62 years, and still everything I read says scientists cannot predict these things. They can tell the fault zones. They can tell where one occurred AFTER it happened. Did you read these from the search Ms. Sue posted for you?

The USGS is the premier entity for anything relating to earthquakes.

Key word here is "try"!
and btw i thought the answer was b
that link does not really help
i just did. is it not A
I think it is B. Not sure though, if it isn't A, then it must be B. Please tell me if I am wrong.
ok thanks
To overcome the inability to spot warning signs before an earthquake, humans rely on scientific instruments and monitoring systems. Although animals may have a heightened sensitivity to earthquakes, their ability to predict them accurately is limited. Humans, on the other hand, have developed various methods to predict earthquakes. While it is important to note that earthquakes cannot be predicted with absolute certainty, the following techniques are commonly used:
A) Seismographs: Seismographs are devices that measure ground movements caused by seismic waves during an earthquake. These instruments record the amplitude and duration of ground vibrations, providing valuable information about the earthquake's magnitude, location, and depth.
B) Magnetic compasses: Magnetic disturbances have been associated with certain earthquakes. By monitoring magnetic variations, scientists can identify potential precursor signals, although these variations are not always consistent or reliable.
C) Anemometer: While it is not a direct tool for earthquake prediction, anemometers can be used to detect sudden changes in wind directions. Some studies suggest that variations in atmospheric pressure and wind patterns might precede seismic activity, possibly due to the disturbances caused by underground geological movements.
D) Thermometers: Abnormal rises in air temperature have been observed in some cases before earthquakes. Monitoring and analyzing temperature changes, particularly in proximity to known seismic zones, can provide additional insights into potential seismic events.
It is important to emphasize that earthquake prediction is still an ongoing field of research, and no fully reliable method has been developed so far. These techniques, along with other geophysical and geodetic approaches, contribute to ongoing efforts to improve earthquake forecasting and emergency preparedness.
but i think it’s A
I disagree.
