According to this data which of the following is the best solution to minimize the effects of catastrophic events in South Carolina? O Because volcanoes are possible, houses should be constructed in a manner that will allow for all vents to be closed. O Because earthquakes are possible, monitor earthquake activity, so they can be prevented. O Because earthquakes are possible, make buildings less rigid and better able to move. O Because volcanoes are possible, monitor gas chemistry and land deformation to allow for warning.
