Question

A team of scientists is studying earthquakes. They plot the locations of earthquakes around the world from 1900 to 2017 on the map below. How can scientists use the data to predict future earthquakes? * a. They can look for patterns on the map to see where the most earthquakes take place. b. They can see which areas have not had earthquakes, because those are most likely to be next. c. They can compare and contrast the smaller magnitude earthquakes to the larger magnitude earthquakes. d. They can eliminate the places that already had earthquakes, because earthquakes do not happen in the same place twice
