to map the location of all the largest earthquakes
  C. to know how strong future earthquakes will be
  D. to determine the location and magnitude of seismic activity Why is it important to continuously monitor seismic data?

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP

Answer 1

D is the best answer in my opinion. But b is also a good answer.

Answer 2

It is important to continuously monitor the seismic data in order to determine the location and magnitude of seismic activity.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The seismic activity data is categorized into the group of real time data. Thus, the seismic activity data recorded in the present doesn't exhibit any information about the seismic activity in the past.

• It is not only just difficult but impossible to predict a future earthquake with the help of the seismic activity data available in the present.

• Hence, the seismic activity data can only be monitored to determine the location and magnitude of seismic activity.
