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.
Why do scientists think that an earthquake will occur at the San Andrea's fault?
Because it is a fault and earthquakes usually occur near faults.
How do scientists usually communicate and defend the result of an investigation?

What happens when a piece of crust is subducted?
it usually makes an earthquake.
What happens when a tectonic plate moves rapidly?
Usually an earthquake occurs.
How do scientists usually state predictions?
A scientific prediction, or hypothesis, is always stated using the "if, then" method. IF this happens, THEN this will result.

What do scientists usually do when a problem first arises?
Make predictions about what will happen under certain circumstances.
Why do scientists think that an earthquake will occur at the San Andrea's fault?
Because it is a fault and earthquakes usually occur near faults.
What information is not usually included in a position statement?
Position statements usually don't include predictions for the future
What types of things do scientists look for when trying to predict an earthquake?
Earthquakes are usually caused by a sudden release of tectonic stress, often along a fault line, where two plates meet. Scientists can detect this with geosonic devices that measure torsional pressure on certain parts of tectonic faults.

What is the epicentre in an earthquake?
Point on the surface of the Earth that is directly above the source (or focus) of an earthquake. There the effects of the earthquake usually are most severe
Where does an earthquake usually form?
Plate boundaries
What do you call scientists camps?
Scientists usually go to conferences, not camps.
Is an earthquake usually caused after a tsanami?
No. It's the other way around. A tsunami can occur as a result of an earthquake.
Why do think earthquake are located in these specific areas?
well earthquake are usually around the cost Line boundaries
