· Geologically (i.e., in terms of how the process operates), are they predictable, or can we merely forecast? On what time-scale (hours, days, weeks, years, decades) can we make predictions – or can we only make projections? What are the precursors that scientists can observe that might indicate the eruption/earthquake/tsunami/landslide/flood? What sorts of instrumentation do we need to employ?
“Geological Hazards” assignment In this assignment, you will focus on ONE of these types of geological hazards, and answer the question in bold below (for the type of hazard you picked). · Volcanic eruptions · Earthquakes[1] · Tsunamis · Landslides[2] · River floods How well are we able to predict this geological hazard type, and […]
