continental drift

Answer 1

Among the options provided, the natural event that is the hardest to give early warning for is **earthquake**. While advances have been made in understanding and monitoring seismic activity, predicting the precise time and location of earthquakes remains a significant challenge. In contrast, tsunamis can often be detected after an earthquake occurs, and volcanic eruptions can exhibit signs that may provide an early warning. Continental drift is a slow geological process that does not require immediate early warning.
