Question

Which of the following natural calamities cannot be predicted in advance very accurately?

• A. Famine
• B. Flood
• C. Cyclone
• D. Earthquake

Hint:

Earthquakes remain unpredictable; focus on preparedness in high-risk zones.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Earthquakes cannot be predicted in advance with high accuracy due to the complex and sudden nature of tectonic plate movements:
- Current technology can only assess risk areas, not precise timing.
- Famine, floods, and cyclones can be forecasted to some extent using weather and socioeconomic data.
