The earthquake predictions depend on everyday life because the tectonic plates move a few micrometres each day. where two tectonic plates meet is called a convergent boundary and this causes an earthquake but look online and if you live in New Zealand by any chance the likelyhood of an earthquake is reasonably high.

Are scientists usually successful in long range earthquake predictions?
sometimes they are but not always i believe
What is earthquake precursors phenomena?
There are many probably earthquake precursors that could lead to useful predictions of when one will occur. Foreshocks are one way to predict when a quake is coming.
Have any earthquake predictions come true?
There has never been a recorded instance of an earthquake prediction having been proven accurate. Often times, however, stories claiming this to be the case arise after earthquakes (or other natural disasters).
How can you tell the difference between a foot wall and a hanging wall on a reverse fault or a normal fault?
The earthquake also provided opportunities for researchers to retrofit data in order to model future earthquake predictions. Using data from the Intermagnet Lanzhou (LZH) geomagnetic observatory, geologists Lazo Pekevski from University Saints Cyril and Methodius in Skopje, Macedonia and Strachimir Cht. Mavrodiev from the Bulgarian Academy of Science showed the possibility to predict the time of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake ±1 day.[178]
Where is an earthquake's focus located?
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
What are the predictions before an earthquake based on?
probality Studies
What are short-term predictions of earthquake behavior?
Short term predictions of earthquake behaviour or even earthquake predictions in general have not occured yet. Many even question if earthquakes will ever be able to be predicted. Even the earthquakes that have supposedly been predicted correctly have controversy behind the method

Are there several reliable methods of short-range earthquake predictions?
Yes.
Is there people dead in haiti earthquake?
Yes, predictions range from 100,000 to 500,000

When did earthquakes first became predicted?
Currently earthquakes can not exactly be predicted, scientists can estimate the probability that an earthquake of a given size will affect a given location over a certain number of years, but it's still not possible to actually know if or when an earthquake will occur.China began trying to predict earthquakes in the 1970s but it was not so successful, they issued over 30 false predictions and only 2 correct ones. Japan attempted predictions around the same time which ultimately failed when an earthquake struck the city of Kobe in 1995. Several predictions were made by other countries throughout the 70-90s but almost all were entirely inaccurate.A good example of this would be the Parkfield earthquake prediction,the USGS predicted an earthquake to occur in Parkfield California between 1985 and 1993, this prediction was based upon regularly occurring earthquakes in the area in the early 1900s. These failed to occur but an earthquake did occur in that same area in 2004, showing some regularity in earthquakes, making predictions slightly more plausible.So, to date the only prediction method available is probability.
Who can you get prior information about earthquake?
Predicting earthquakes is quite difficult. Long term predictions are imprecise but possible. They can estimate within 100 or so years when an eruption will occur. They study slip rates, slip magnitudes, and fault history. Short term predictions are precise, but very difficult. It is based on fluid pressure, gas release, changes in magnetic fields, foreshocks, and gaps in earthquake records.
How many earthquakes hit Trinidad?
In 1778, an earthquake off of Venezuela's coast destroyed out then-capital, St. Joseph. In 2011, however, there are predictions the the island will be hit by a powerful 'quake.
