Question

Which of the following options is a factor that scientists consider when predicting the occurrence of an earthquake? Select all that apply.

-amount of precipitation

-foreshocks

-thunderstorms

-patterns of electrical currents in the ground

Answer 1

foreshocks and patterns of electrical currents in the ground

Answer 2

A foreshock is a factor that scientists normally consider at the time of prediction.

Foreshocks will help the scientists to predict the occurrence of an earthquake, so option B) foreshocks is the right answer.

Scientists used to study a lot on the past frequency of the big earthquakes to find the expected possibility of the related large shocks. Hope it helps.
