changes caused by shifts in barometric pressure a team of researchers found that increases in underground pressure came before earthquakes along California s San Andreas Fault by as much as 10 hours If follow up tests confirm these findings seismologists may eventually be able to provide a few hours notice for people to find a safe place before quakes Predicting earthquakes is the final goal for seismologists says Fenglin Niu the research team s lead author and a Rice University seismologist This is a start The research team theorizes that the immense amount of pressure building along the Fault causes small cracks within the rock during the final hours before an earthquake which increases rock density and slows the transmission signals The more cracks you have the slower the seismic velocity 震波速度 will be says study co author Paul Silver a geophysicist with the Carnegie Institution of Washington Still unknown is whether there is any significance to the fact that the magnitude 3 quake had a much longer pre seismic signal than lower magnitude quakes or whether it was simply because its magnitude was larger and its epicenter 震中 was closer to the sensors If scientists can flesh out the new findings during future earthquakes a two year study at the same seismically active location begins this September it could form the basis of a vastly improved early warning system for quakes Current earthquake warning systems give just a few seconds notice because they detect only P waves the fast moving seismic waves that precede the more destructive waves released during a quake Upgrading to a seismic stress meter however is still a long way off 1 The author wrote this passage to tell us something about A a traditional way of predicting earthquakes B the importance of predicting earthquakes C a new way of predicting earthquakes D the damages caused by horrible earthquakes 2 According to the passage we can infer that the traditional way of predicting earthquakes A costs much more than the new one B produces accurate information C does not provide enough time for people to escape D is less accurate than the new one 4 3 The new way mentioned in the passage predicts earthquakes by A measuring the changes of the P waves B looking for the epicenter closest to the sensors C watching t
