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.
"Highest hazard" locations are better prepared for an earthquake than the "lowest hazard" locations.

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 you can draw between the "highest hazard" and "lowest hazard" locations, based on the classification provided by the National Seismic Hazard Map, is that there is more likely to be an earthquake in a "highest hazard" location than in a "lowest hazard" location.
This conclusion can be made because the classification of "highest hazard" suggests that the location has a higher probability of experiencing an earthquake, while the classification of "lowest hazard" suggests that the location has a lower probability of experiencing an earthquake. However, it is important to note that classifying a location as having the "highest hazard" does not necessarily mean that an earthquake will definitely occur there, nor does classifying a location as having the "lowest hazard" guarantee that no earthquake will ever occur there in the future.
