Predicting earthquakes
The lecturer argues that reading passages present methods that cannot be relied upon to predict earthquakes. This contradicts the reading passage's claim that earthquakes are predictable in several ways.
First, the lecturer argues that it is impossible to predict earthquakes by watching animals' behavior. It is because we don't know whether earthquakes cause them to move or not. There is a possibility that it is just reacting to mild shaking. Additionally, we don't fully understand the general behavior of animals. This casts doubts on the argument made in the reading passage that earthquakes can be predicted by animals' behaviors.
Second, the lecturer claims that there is no reliable method of predicting human headaches. Since magnetite in the brain is so scarce, it cannot affect the human brain. Furthermore, since headaches are quite common among humans for a variety of reasons, it is impossible to differentiate between them. This refutes the argument made in the reading passage that headaches are a good indicator of earthquakes.
Lastly, the lecturer points out that radon levels in the atmosphere cannot be used to predict upheavals. This is because radon can be emitted even when there is only a small earthquake. Furthermore, it can lead to false alarms in real-life situations. This refutes the argument made in the reading passage that earthquakes can be predicted by radon.
