QUESTION 27 The inhabitants of Tralfamadore are concerned about their future well-being and would like to monitor certain areas more closely. Which area do you suggest they focus their limited resources to monitor for potential future disasters?

A) Location 2 as a Magnitude 12.4 earthquake has occurred here and could very likely occur again.

B) Location “v” as the direction of plate movement suggests that the plate could continue moving well into the future.

C) Location U as this is a location of a potentially deadly Stratovolcano
D) Location ‘’Z’’ as this is potentially the location of a ‘’supervolcano’’ similar to the area

near Yellowstone National Park.
E) None of the localities on the Tralfamadore map should be monitored as they present no

future danger
