Animals can sense when something is wrong, and slight changes in weather. The movies surely do exagerate just a bit, but some senses do kick in and tell the animal whats happening. However, this is most common with birds and dogs.
Yes, some animals are sensitive to tremors in the ground.
Scientists want to be able to predict earthquakes to save peoples lives.
It is important for scientists to develop ways to predict earthquakes. By it they can measure when the next one would be.

The role of PHIVOLCS is to predict the accurance of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in the Philippines
Yes. Earthquakes occur most often along fault lines. There are also many different devices (seismograph) that sense seismic waves and can predict earthquakes.

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.
Humans ... to some extent.It's possible that some animals may be able to detect, as opposed to predict, earthquakes a few instants sooner than humans can; but a lot of the supposed "predictions" made by animals are really just coincidences that would have quickly been dismissed and forgotten if they hadn't been followed by an earthquake.
They do not predict earthquakes.

Scientists have no power to control earthquakes, nor to specifically predict them, but a logical area that the earthquakes would take place is along the plates of the earths crust. (Their shifting leads to earthquakes)

Yes, through the use of global positioning systemsscientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes.
Nobody knows how many earthquakes can happen in a year because you cannot predict earthquakes. :)
