Predicting earthquakes is quite difficult. Long term predictions are imprecise but possible. They can estimate within 100 or so years when an eruption will occur. They study slip rates, slip magnitudes, and fault history. Short term predictions are precise, but very difficult. It is based on fluid pressure, gas release, changes in magnetic fields, foreshocks, and gaps in earthquake records.

What cant you learn from a seismogram?

A seismogram can provide information about the time, magnitude, and location of an earthquake, as well as the direction the seismic waves traveled. However, it cannot directly provide information about the cause of the earthquake or the specific geological structures involved.


What information do you need to completely describe where an earthquake started?

To completely describe where an earthquake started, you would need the coordinates of the earthquake's epicenter, the depth at which it originated within the Earth, and the fault line or tectonic plate boundary where the earthquake occurred. This information helps to pinpoint the exact location and provide insight into the geological context of the earthquake's origin.
