Two ways by which people do or do not predict earthquakes are the following:
1. By way of their own senses, such as seeing burrowing animals appearing to be homeless when they should be inside their holes; hearing suddenly increased, agitated communication among birds just as suddenly stopped; and feeling pre-earthquake shock waves;
- since humans are animals also, then whatever causes animal behaviour to change prior to an earthquake, could also affect human behaviour.
2. By use of such scientific equipment as the creepmeter, global positioning system, laser light, magnetometer, and strainmeter to monitor the below ground presence of vibrations, soil and crust movements, disrupted light transmissions, and changed magnetic field.

What are two things geologists can't predict about earthquakes?
(i)Time frame within which it must occur. (ii)Location where after shocks are likely to occur.
Why is it easier to predict where an earthquake epicenter will occur than it is to predict when it will occur?
I think you mean when. Earthquakes are made by two plates in the ground moving against each other. Its it to predict where because if you are near a plate boundaries (where two plates meet) then it is more likely for an earthquake to occur.

In which two ways did people travel to the theatre?
Two ways in which people travel to the theatre was walking and also by boat.
When do earthquakes come and go?
You can never predict when an Earthquake will come and go. It will most likely go when things settle down a bit. they COME when two plates underneath us drift apart, creating the Earthquake.
