要记住，地震并不一定会造成人员死亡。造成人员死亡的往往是楼房、海啸、高空坠物、愚昧和无知。
5.through historical and past data, seismic agencies around the world are able to compile statistical estimates and probabilities of an earthquake of certain magnitude occurring within a period of time over a certain fault or area.
通过历史和以往的数据，世界各地的地震机构能够从统计学的角度估计某一断层或某一地区一定时间内发生一定强度的地震的概率，对发生地震的可能性进行预测。
