earthquakes
The reading and the lecture are both about finding ways to predict earthquakes. The author of the reading suggests some methods than can be use to predict earthquakes. The lecturer, however, rebuts the author's ideas. He thinks that the methods propossed in the reading part doe not hold clear evidence and are questionable.
To begin with, the author claims that one way to see that an earthquake is coming can be done by observation of animals's behavior. He says that animals act differently when they feel that an earthquake is about to happen. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He states that it is not true that animals change their behavior because of that. Also, he says that a minir trumbeling can not lead to earthquake.
Secondly, the reading part holds the idea that headaches occure in people can be another signal that an earthquake is approaching. On the other hand, the lecure oposes this statement. It says that headache is not a realible sign of it. This is a rare symptom and the magnetite is so small, therefor it can not be true.
Finally, the writer thinks that by measuring of the emisions of readon earthquake can also be predicted. The speaker opposes this idea, by sayin that this is not a practical way to predict earthquake and the emisions of radon is not a forecast for earthquakes.
In conclusion, there seems to be a lot of dissagrements between the passage and the lecture, that are unlikly to be solved.
