How can seismologists and other scientist predict earthquakes and protect people fro the damage caused by earthquakes?

They can't at the moment, at least not to the extent they would like. Seismologists want, more than anything, to be able to confidently announce: "There will be an earthquake of between 6.1 and 6.3 Richter occurring in Pleasant Valley within the next 48 hours." That's the ideal. Unfortunately, the technology is a long way from there yet. To paraphrase into the vernacular, the very best earthquake warning system we have at present would be to hear an annoucement that said: "There is somewhere between a pretty good chance and a really good chance there will be an earthquake of undetermined strength in the Pleasant Valley Area anywhere between today and nine months from now".

Why do seismologists measure and record earthquake?
Seismologists measure and record earthquakes to understand their characteristics, including magnitude, depth, and location. This data helps in assessing earthquake hazards, studying the Earth's interior structure, and improving our understanding of plate tectonics and seismic activity. It also allows for the development of early warning systems to protect lives and infrastructure in earthquake-prone areas.
How are tornadoes worse than earthquakes?
earthquakes are more dangerous because if there's a tornado you can go to your basement or go in the bathtub with a matres over you to protect yourself. if there's a earthquake you cant really protect yourself because of the shaking you cant really walk to a safer spot.

How do you predict prevent and protect against earthquakes?
predict, cannot be doneprevent, impossibleprotect against, build only earthquake resistant structures, have an emergency survival kit, purchase an earthquake insurance policy (but this will usually be very expensive), in the event of an earthquake stay off the phone completely (i.e. leave the still functioning circuits for emergency service use only)
