许多地质学家相信,他们不久就可以预报地震。中国早就拥有一个地震警报系统,该系统把用先进技术精选的地震资料和动物异常,井水物理特性的变化结合起来。美国国会可以把用于地震预报及有关研究的联邦经费增加一倍,这对加州居民来说是令人高兴的消息。 Many geologists believe they can predict earthquakes soon. China has long had an earthquake warning system that combines seismic data, selected with advanced technology, with changes in animal anomalies and physical properties of well water. The U.S. Congress can double federal funding for earthquake prediction and related studies, which is a welcome news for California residents.
