Dаmage Control [E] By contrast, experts have suggested that the United States is nowhere near as prepared if a massive earthquake were to hit the highly vulnerable West Coast. While some buildings and public utilities have been built to withstand a major earthquake, projects such as these have been in the minority. Since many seismologists3 have predicted that a major earthquake along the U.S. West Coast is almost inevitable in the next 100 years, some believe that the Americans are taking an incredible gamble. For these critics, taking inspiration from the Japanese and committing to a higher level of preparedness is the only path to take. By doing so, future earthquakes need not be described as "major" or "great," despite the use of measurement systems like the Richter Scale.1 If something happens in the wake of an event, it happens afterwards as a result of the event.2 A fault line is a location on the Earth's surface that is very likely to experience earthquakes.3 A seismologist is a scientist who studies earthquakes.What does the word gamble mean in the final paragraph?
DIRECTIONS: Chооse the best аnswer fоr eаch question. Dаmage Control [A] Measuring the scale of a natural disaster is not easy. Tornados, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions are typically measured according to their intensity. Part of this measurement includes the amount of destruction that the incident can inflict on the natural setting, as well as on human life. Tornados, for example, are measured on what is known as the Fujita Scale. While the weakest tornados are classified as F0s, those that are the most powerful and destructive are classified as F5s.[B] Perhaps the most famous of these measurement scales, however, is the Richter Scale - the system for measuring the strengths of earthquakes. Most earthquakes that have been recorded in the modern era have fallen somewhere between 0 and 9. At the lower end of the scale, earthquakes that register between 2.5 and 5.4 can be felt on the Earth's surface, but only cause minor damage. Those below 2.5, while technology designed to monitor seismic activity can capture movement, cannot be felt at all. By contrast, at the higher end of the Richter Scale, seismic activity that registers above 8 are considered catastrophic - capable of causing massive damage at the epicenter of the earthquake.[C] Despite the usefulness of these scales, however, it is essential to keep in mind that the raw strength of a natural disaster does not directly correlate with the amount of death and destruction that it leaves in its wake.1 Rather, researchers have come to understand that high levels of preparation for such events can dramatically reduce the negative impact that they can have on a society. 1 If something happens in the wake of an event, it happens afterwards as a result of the event.2 A fault line is a location on the Earth's surface that is very likely to experience earthquakes.3 A seismologist is a scientist who studies earthquakes.In paragraph C, what does the phrase correlate with mean?
