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 definitely be an earthquake in the "highest hazard" location.
There will definitely be an earthquake in the "highest hazard" location.
"Highest hazard" locations are better prepared for an earthquake than the "lowest hazard" locations.
"Highest hazard" locations are better prepared for an earthquake than the "lowest hazard" locations.
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 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.
There is more likely to be an earthquake in a "highest hazard" location than in a "lowest hazard" location.
The correct conclusion that can be drawn between the "highest hazard" and "lowest hazard" locations is: "There is more likely to be an earthquake in a 'highest hazard' location than in a 'lowest hazard' location." This conclusion is based on the classification given by the National Seismic Hazard Map, which indicates that the "highest hazard" location has a higher probability of experiencing seismic activity compared to the "lowest hazard" location. It does not necessarily guarantee that there will be an earthquake in the highest hazard location, nor does it indicate the level of earthquake preparedness in either location.
