to monitor faults, geologists have developed instruments to measure changes in elevation, tiliting of the land surface, and ground movements along the faults. Geologists use tiltmeters, Creep Meters, Laser- Ranging Devices, and GPS Satellites.
They can't be predicted and that is the problem. Geologists monitor active faults for signs of movement.
Geologists collect data on friction along the side of faults so that they can predict how much pressure is applied on the faults so they can predict how strong the earthquake is.
Yes, geologists use creep meters to measure the slow, continuous movement along a fault. Creep meters are sensitive instruments that can detect even small amounts of movement over time, helping geologists monitor fault activity and study the behavior of faults.
They map faults, detect changes along faults, and develop a method of predicting earthquakes

Geologists use instruments like GPS devices, tiltmeters, and creepmeters to monitor the upward movement along a fault. These tools help geologists measure ground deformation and track changes in fault activity over time.
Geologists study how tectonic plates interact and accumulate stress along faults, where two plates meet. Earthquakes occur when this stored energy is released suddenly, causing the rocks to break and generate seismic waves. Monitoring these faults and understanding their behavior helps geologists predict and prepare for future seismic activity.
So that geologist can predict how much force of pressure applied on the faults to predict how strong the earthquake.

The factors that help geologists determine for earthquake risk for religion are the movement of seismic waves along faults and friction.Hope this helped!
A fault must be younger than the rock it cuts through.
The movement of seismic waves along faults and friction.
