They can't be predicted and that is the problem. Geologists monitor active faults for signs of movement.
Probably the biggest problem with earthquakes is that they can't be predicted.
You can't predict earthquakes
Seismologists not meteorologists study earthquakes. Generally earthquakes can be predicted by measuring fore-quakes which often precede larger earthquakes.
Predicting earthquakes in the East is like predicting snow in the North.
Earthquakes can never be predicted because Mother Nature is a surprise to us all
they have machines that can detect movement in tectonic plates
animals would start to leave.
Earthquakes cannot be predicted.
Many disasters like hurricanes and thunder storms can be predicted. However, many disasters, like tornadoes and earthquakes, cannot be predicted with much accuracy.
Flooding, earthquakes, volcanoes, forest fires, avalanches.
Scientists are able to predict large earthquakes to a certain extent. With the use of certain statistical methods, many earthquakes are able to be predicted.
That's pretty rare, but it has happened, and of course it happens when the earthquake never was predicted.
