Seismometer
To measure fault movement, scientists use a number of tools including, but not limited to the following:

Geologists can determine earthquake risk by locating where faults are active and where past earthquakes have occured.
earthquakes are likely
Horizontal faults can be refered to as lateral faults or strike-slip faults.
Normal faults, reverse faults, and last but not least transform faults.

They can't be predicted and that is the problem. Geologists monitor active faults for signs of movement.
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.

The factors that help geologists determine for earthquake risk for religion are the movement of seismic waves along faults and friction.Hope this helped!
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.

Geologists can use seismographs to detect hidden faults. When seismic waves encounter a fault, they are reflected off of the fault. Geologists can use this information to chart the location of a depth of a hidden fault.
