What are short-term predictions of earthquake behavior?
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
What predictions can be made using evidence gathered by seismometers?
almost none... ever. no predictions can be made from a single recording because earthquakes are too random
Which are used for short range predictions of when earthquakes will occur?
Answer: Strain in rocks near faults.
What are long range predictions of earthquakes based?
based on? they are based on tectonic plate movement.
Why is it difficult for geologists to make short term predictions about earthquakes?
There is no way for them to predict one.
When did earthquakes first became predicted?
Currently earthquakes can not exactly be predicted, scientists can estimate the probability that an earthquake of a given size will affect a given location over a certain number of years, but it's still not possible to actually know if or when an earthquake will occur.China began trying to predict earthquakes in the 1970s but it was not so successful, they issued over 30 false predictions and only 2 correct ones. Japan attempted predictions around the same time which ultimately failed when an earthquake struck the city of Kobe in 1995. Several predictions were made by other countries throughout the 70-90s but almost all were entirely inaccurate.A good example of this would be the Parkfield earthquake prediction,the USGS predicted an earthquake to occur in Parkfield California between 1985 and 1993, this prediction was based upon regularly occurring earthquakes in the area in the early 1900s. These failed to occur but an earthquake did occur in that same area in 2004, showing some regularity in earthquakes, making predictions slightly more plausible.So, to date the only prediction method available is probability.
How many earthquakes hit Trinidad?
In 1778, an earthquake off of Venezuela's coast destroyed out then-capital, St. Joseph. In 2011, however, there are predictions the the island will be hit by a powerful 'quake.
Why are geologist able to make long term predictions about earthquakes?
I had to read that twice! I thought you said gyno's! But seriously, they have sizmic (?) stations all over the continent and are continuosly reading changes that effect them!
What will be predictions?
UFC 161 Predictions
Were Meneleev's predictions correct?
If you mean his predictions about the periodic table then yes his predictions were correct.
Hypotheses are typically expressed as theories or predictions?
Predictions
What animal can predict earthquakes?
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.
