One natural phenomenon which cannot be predicted is:1. Floods2. Cyclonic storms3. Rain4. Earthquake

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Earthquake

The correct answer is Earthquake.

  • Earthquake:
    • An earthquake is a sudden shaking or trembling of the earth which lasts for a very short time.
    • It is caused by a disturbance deep inside the earth’s crust.
    • So it is difficult to predict the earthquake.
    • But for the prediction, we use remote sensing.
  • Remote sensing
    • It can be used to obtain data of very remote and inaccessible regions
    • With the help of remote sensing imagery of any area over a continuous period through which any natural changes in the landscape (earthquake) can be analyzed.
    • The data collected using it is in various forms such as variations in acoustic wave distributions (SONAR), variations in force distributions (gravity meter), variations in electromagnetic energy distributions.
    • The remote sensing is the process of inferring surface parameters from measurements of the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from the Earth’s surface.
    • In space-borne remote sensing, sensors are mounted on a satellite orbiting the earth.
