Earthquake Quiz

Even “experts” have to learn more
As much as I’ve learned about safety through the years — and as much as I think I might know — I always find that there are new things to learn and new techniques to follow. I often tell students in my classes that after 20 years I’m still far from being an “expert.” Every time I think I know about all I could about a safety topic, I find someone that innovates a new and totally bizarre way to get hurt.

My score
Earthquakes have not typically been of major concern in my area. However, the recent quake experienced in the mid-west U.S. from the New Madrid fault (originating near New Salem, Illinois) has many people in my area asking a lot of questions. I took the following quiz and only scored 60%. I would have liked to have scored higher, but as I said before, there are always new things to learn.
How will you score on this quiz?

The font for the answers was so small and poorly formed as to be unreadable at times. I increased my screen res to 800 x 600 and it was still barely readable. I had to guess at some of the answers.

Interesting… Yes, this is a bit small in the embedded version here. I wonder if the same is true when viewing the widget on the creator's site? I obviously only shared this one for others to see; I suppose if this is an issue across the board then the originator of the widget might need to be notified.
I hadn't noticed the change when posting here.
Thanks for the comment!
