ISP 203B exam 2 Questions With Solutions Why is the motion of the ground in an earthquake greater on loose sediments because waves are amplified After the san fran earthquake of 1906, it was noticed fences and rows of fruit trees were offset at the fault, but still straight. This led to... The elastic rebound theory Forecasting and prediction of hazards is a desirable goal. What is true about them Many volcanic eruptions can be predicted within days Earthquakes can be predicted to with...
