Choose the best option A, B, C or D to answer the question : How can scientist predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but happen in certain areas. They happen in places of the earth’s surface meet. This pattern causes them to shake the same places many times. For example, earthquakes often occur on the west - coast of North and South America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia. Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s surface like a sudden drop of water level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes people have seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of water, snakes leaving their holes and other animals acting strangely. After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water and medical supplies. The amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where it happens, and how strong it is. It also depends on types of buildings, soil conditions and population. Of the 6000 earthquakes in the earth each year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths. 41.
