== == * Bears, deer will run for the mountains as far away as they can. Horses will bolt and run and cattle will become restless and stampede. During the last Tsunami the elephants were acting up and strangely enough the native people ignored this sign in them. In fact, they couldn't control the elephants and the elephants made a fast retreat for higher ground. One native noticed this and yelled out to follow the elephants and it's a good thing they did. The Indians in Western countries can tell when weather is going to change by the actions of beetles and other bugs or even how birds act. * Yes they do. They feel and hear these things before humans do. I have two parrots, and they squawk uncontrollably right before an earthquake. Dogs and cats will most likely be ultra calm and clingy. They might hide, or act abnormally. My cat before the earthquake that just hit Illinois, was freakishly odd for an entire day beforehand. He woke me up repeatedly, and meowed and meowed all night long trying to get me out of bed. just before the earthquake happened he bit my nose to wake me up, then hid under the bed. afterwards, he came out to make sure I was OK. He also predicted the aftershocks by about 20 minutes apiece. I was impressed.

∙ 13y agoThere is significant anecdotal evidence of unusual behaviour in animals before earthquakes occur however there is very little definitive scientific published work that can explain exactly what this behaviour is or what may cause it!
It has been suggested that animals may be more sensitive to precursor events such as micro seismicity or other phenomena that humans don't notice before an earthquake although this is currently very poorly understood and is an area of continuing research, particularly in China and Japan.
For further information please see the related link from the US Geological Survey.

Could a large lake recede before an earthquake occurs?
Yes, it could. This phenomenon was observed before the Alaskan earthquake of 1964. It can happen as a result of the lake basin tilting prior to the quake.
Is the focus of an earthquake the where the movement first occurs?
the first place where the movement first occurs in an earthquake is the focus.
What happens to lithospheric plates when an earthquake occurs?
Lithospheric plates, which also are called tectonic plates, move towards or away from each other when an earthquake occurs.
How many seismograph stations come benefit earthquake victims after an earthquake?
how many seismograph stations benifit earthquake victims after the damage occurs
Why is it important to have three seismographs when an earthquake occurs?
It is important because with the three siesmograpghs measure the epicenter of the earthquake.
Does tension limit pass before an earthquake occurs?
yes it does
What is an earthquake that occurs in the ocean?
A seaquake is a type of earthquake that occurs under the seafloor.

What is an intraplate earthquake?
An intraplate earthquake is an earthquake that occurs in the interior of a tectonic plate. However, an interplate earthquake is one that occurs at a plate boundary.
Is the focus of an earthquake the where the movement first occurs?
the first place where the movement first occurs in an earthquake is the focus.
What are somethings you can do to prepare for an earthquake before one occurs?
you can look in websites to see if one will occur and make a earthquake bag to put all your safety stuff inside
How can an earthquake affect animals?
Stories abound describing how birds, including ocean or sea fowl, and land animals become anxious, try to run away (such as zoo animals), or flee an area before an earthquake or a tsunami. Some people say that, suddenly, birds in cities become eerily quiet (such as before the quake in Christchurch, New Zealand) and begin to fly away in flocks. As well, some stories describe how fish congregate in shallow waters before an undersea earthquake occurs.
What is the term what do you call an earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake in the same area?
after shock
What do you call an earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake in the same area?
This is known as an aftershock.
How do you know when a girl guinea pig is pregnant?
She would be quite fat and would shuffle around restlessly. She probably wouldn't sleep either. If this occurs, take her to a doctor.
