Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most devastating forces known to man. (41)______. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis (gigantic sea waves), and other phenomena resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves.
(42)______. One such area encompasses the Pacific Ocean and its contiguous land masses. The other extends from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. (43)______.
This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake predication may be possible. (44)______. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus less en) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.
It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and eliminate their destructiveness altogether. (45)______.
A. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.
B. Since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculation.
C. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth’s crust, variations in the force of gravity and the earth’s magnetic field, and the frequency with which minor earth tremors(震动) are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in anticipating when and where earthquakes will strike.
D. In these two areas, we can also see other kind of disasters taking place.
E. But as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their potential devastation before it occurs.
F. The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas.
G. We have known little about how and why earthquakes happen, maybe we’ll never know.
