Why is it easier to predict where an earthquake will occur than when?
Because earthquakes tend to occur where there are stresses in the crust which lead to the storage of energy in the form of elastic strain. This tends to occur at plate boundaries and this deformation can be monitored by scientists. This lets them know that an earthquake is likely to occur in a particular area, but it does not enable them to say when it will occur.
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.
Earthquakes are most likely to occur near?
Tectonic Plate boundaries.
Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
The answer is that earthquakes and volcanoes are most frequent along Tectonic plate boundaries, these are the natural pieces that the continents and oceans are on.
Where are volcano and earthquakes likely to occur?
Between plate or along fault lines.
Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?
Yes, they are likely to occur.
Is there set times when an earthquake occurs?
Not really. Although scientists can atempt to predict when earthquakes are likely to occur with the use of special equipment.
Are earthquakes likely to occur in Fiji?
NO.
How can you determine if you live in an area where earthquakes are likely to occur?
You can determine if you live in a area were earthquakes are likely to occur by going on line and looking for past seismographs in your area.
Where in Australia are earthquakes most likely to occur?
Australia
What do earthquakes that occur on seafloor produce?
tsunamis are likely
What are volcanoes and earthquakes likely to occur?
If you mean "where" earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur it is in what's called the "ring of fire" which is the coastal ring around the Pacific Ocean.
Can scientists predict when earthquakes will occur?
Earthquakes are dangerous to humeans and the environment because the plates collide. I LIKE PURPLE BANANAS

Where is earthquakes most likely to occur?
earthquakes are most likely to occur on the rim of tectonic plates
Earthquakes are most likely to occur in Europe?
alpine system
Where is the location where earthquakes be likely to occur?
Along fault lines.
