Give an example of 'Protect'

• flexible steel structure to allow the building to sway

• evacuation to higher ground

• delivering aid

• seismographs (machines that monitor tectonic movement)

Give an example of 'Predict'

• flexible steel structure to allow the building to sway

• evacuation to higher ground

• delivering aid

• seismographs (machines that monitor tectonic movement)

Which two are examples of Prepare?

• flexible steel structure to allow the building to sway

• evacuation to higher ground

• delivering aid

• seismographs (machines that monitor tectonic movement)

True or False? You can predict earthquakes

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Scientists have not managed to predict earthquakes properly! They can only monitor them as they happen.

At a ____ boundary the plates move towards each other. The oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental crust as it is denser.
