The earthquake predictions depend on everyday life because the tectonic plates move a few micrometres each day. where two tectonic plates meet is called a convergent boundary and this causes an earthquake but look online and if you live in New Zealand by any chance the likelyhood of an earthquake is reasonably high. Adam.
Short term predictions of earthquake behaviour or even earthquake predictions in general have not occured yet. Many even question if earthquakes will ever be able to be predicted. Even the earthquakes that have supposedly been predicted correctly have controversy behind the method

Predictions
Yes, predictions range from 100,000 to 500,000
sometimes they are but not always i believe
predictions based on hypotheses
Predicting earthquakes is quite difficult. Long term predictions are imprecise but possible. They can estimate within 100 or so years when an eruption will occur. They study slip rates, slip magnitudes, and fault history. Short term predictions are precise, but very difficult. It is based on fluid pressure, gas release, changes in magnetic fields, foreshocks, and gaps in earthquake records.
The September 4 earthquake was based around Darfield. the February 22 earthquake was based in Lyttleton.
based on? they are based on tectonic plate movement.
Traditional short-range earthquake predictions are challenging due to the unpredictable nature of earthquakes. While there are some methods being developed, such as monitoring foreshocks and changes in groundwater levels, none have proven to be consistently reliable for short-range predictions. It is more common to focus on early warning systems that can provide seconds to minutes of advance notice once an earthquake has already begun.
Radon gas has been linked to potential earthquake predictions as elevated levels of radon gas emitted from the ground have been detected before some earthquakes. However, its effectiveness as a reliable predictor is still under research and not widely accepted.
