Has anyone had a consistent successful way to predict earthquakes?

Seismometers work pretty well for measuring them. But there is no true way to predict an earthquake. All methods have not been proven successful


Is weather a abiotic factor in a habitat?

Seasons are not proven to be abiotic factors, so therefore they are not abiotic factors. But there are abiotic factors during the seasons.


What is the dilatancy model for earthquake prediction?

The dilantacy model is based on the idea that earthquakes can be predicted by measuring microcracks in rocks. Unfortunately, it has proven ineffective in predicting earthquakes efficiently, or quickly enough, and is no longer considered a good option for anticipating seismic events.


Why the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was important?

It led to geological studies that have proven that the Andreas fault line is certain to cause periodic earthquakes such as the one in San Francisco in 1989. What it did was cause architects and engineers to build buildings that can withstand certain levels of earthquakes. Earth movements in California are common. No major earthquakes have happened in the last few decades. However, as in 1906, the earth has demonstrated that havoc can happen at any time in the future.


Have any earthquake predictions come true?

There has never been a recorded instance of an earthquake prediction having been proven accurate. Often times, however, stories claiming this to be the case arise after earthquakes (or other natural disasters).

When was Alfred wegner proven right?

It took nearly 60 years for Alfred's idea to be confirmed, but it then led to the fundamental understanding of the global distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes.


Why are the factors of 14 the same as factors of 28?

28 is a multiple of 14, so it can be proven that any factor of 14 must be a factor of 28.


Does Godels Incompleteness Theorem imply axioms do not exist?

No, not at all. The Incompleteness Theorem is more like, that there will always be things that can't be proven. Further, it is impossible to find a complete and consistent set of axioms, meaning you can find an incomplete set of axioms, or an inconsistent set of axioms, but not both a complete and consistent set.


The strength and weakness of bio medical model of health care?

The strength of the Biomedical model is its proven success as a roadmap for diagnosis and treatment of a multitude of diseases over the past two centuries. Its weakness lies in its failure to fully include psychosocial factors which have proven to be powerful co-factors of disease in modern society.
