The seismic history
Yes, it is called the pusometer. It detects when and where an earthquake will strike, it is quite accurate.
Currently, there is no reliable means for predicting earthquakes, anywhere.
Once the earthquake that triggered the tsunami occurred, authorities knew that a tsunamis was likely. Prior to the earthquake there was no way of predicting it.
The Strength and Frequency Method only predicts how often an earthquake of a particular magnitude will occur. The Gap Hypothesis only predicts where another earthquake is most likely to occur along a fault line. Neither method will predict where the next earthquake will occur in the world, or predict an earthquake happening in a random spot, or predict both the location and strength of an earthquake.
There is no way of predicting an earthquake, but it is unlikely that a major earthquake will strike a location on any given day. The San Andreas Fault probably isn't capable of generating something as large as an 8.9.
No. There is no way of predicting earthquakes and it is unlikely that a method to do so will be developed in the near future.
It is when two tectonic plates collide and they rubs, this causes the rubble which you get from the earthquake. You only get earthquakes if your country is in between a tectonic plate or on the tectonic plate.
Seismologists study the ways of predicting earthquakes. They specialize in understanding the behavior of seismic waves and movement of Earth's plates to forecast potential earthquake occurrences.
Measuring is the only method that will provide exact information. Inferring, predicting, and guessing only provide approximate information.
Predicting whether or not there is a particular substance in your given compound, such as detecting drugs in the urine.
The scope of earthquake studies includes understanding the causes, impacts, and mitigation strategies related to earthquakes. The limitations may include the difficulty in accurately predicting when and where earthquakes will occur, as well as the challenge of implementing effective infrastructure and preparedness measures in earthquake-prone regions.
It is possible, as Christchurch is located in a seismically active area. However, predicting when or if another earthquake will occur is challenging. It is important to be prepared by following building codes, securing heavy furniture, and having an emergency plan in place.
