Forecasting earthquakes would [blank] high-resolution measurements deep underground over the course of decades, if not longer, coupled with sophisticated simulations of the [blank] interactions between the tectonic plates, faults, and rocks. And even then, it's [blank] to yield an hour's worth of lead time, let alone a [blank] date, location, and magnitude of an earthquake.
Sample Answer & Audio Transcript
Forecasting earthquakes would require high-resolution measurements deep underground over the course of decades, if not longer, coupled with sophisticated simulations of the complex interactions between the tectonic plates, faults, and rocks. And even then, it's unlikely to yield an hour's worth of lead time, let alone a precise date, location, and magnitude of an earthquake.
