Answer to Question 1

Very dismal. The factors involved are too complicated for current methods to predict. Consequently, a
forecasting approach is used wherein percent probabilities are provided



Answer to Question 2

These are earthquakes that occur within plates rather than at their edges. Two good examples are
Charleston, South Carolina (1886), and New Madrid, Missouri (1811, 1812).
