Read the paragraph from "1906 Marked the Dawn of the Scientific Revolution." Of course, there are still major questions about earthquakes for which we really have no answers at this time.
Probably the most asked question is, Exactly when will the next damaging earthquake happen?... But when one
considers how much we have learned about the other important questions-
• Where is a strong quake likely to happen?
• How probable is it?
• How intense will the shaking be?
• How well will our infrastructure fare?
• Where should we avoid building critical structures?
• How do we design and build earthquake-resistant structures?
--when one considers these questions and what has been learned since 1906, it is clear that tremendous progress
has been made
What is the most likely reason the author included the bulleted list of questions?
1906 Marked the Dawn of the Scientific Revolution
to identify the types of questions the scientists asked about earthquakes in 1906
to inspire readers to begin researching questions about earthquakes
to emphasize how ignorant scientists still are about earthquakes
to summarize the range of knowledge scientists gained about earthquakes
