For the common man it may not be so important, but it is important for sailors and pilots. Well actually, predicting the weather is majorly important for people in the business of transportation. They need to know the conditions before they fly, sail, or ride in any other way. This can help any normal person so they do not plan major events like a wedding on a day that may have a storm. This also lets people know what clothing is necessary for particular days.

Is there set times when an earthquake occurs?
Not really. Although scientists can atempt to predict when earthquakes are likely to occur with the use of special equipment.
What do scientists not know about earth?
They do Not know how to predict when and where Earthquakes will occur in adequate time to give people enough warning in order to save lives.
How do scientists track tectonic plate movement?
It helps to predict earthquakes, to understand the origin of things, to understand and predict volcanic activity, to predict where some mineral deposits may be found, to understand prehistoric life; the list goes on...
What are the disadvantages of seismographs?
They do not predict earthquakes.
What are the disadvantages of a seismograph?
They don't predict earthquakes.
Why is it important for scientist to develop ways to predict earthquakes?
It is important for scientists to develop ways to predict earthquakes. By it they can measure when the next one would be.
Why do scientist want to be able to predict earthquakes?
Scientists want to be able to predict earthquakes to save peoples lives.
Are scientist able to predict earthquakes?
no but scientists are working on it
Why is it important for scientists to know the speed of plate tectonics?
It is important so that they can possibly predict future earth movements as to when and where it will happen. Ex: earthquakes
What are scientists call who study earthquakes in order to predict and prepare for them?
Seismologists or geophysical scientists.
Can scientist predict large earthquakes?
Scientists are able to predict large earthquakes to a certain extent. With the use of certain statistical methods, many earthquakes are able to be predicted.
Do scientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes?
Yes, through the use of global positioning systemsscientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes.
what does job does a seismologist do?
They are scientists which monitor, record and forecast about earthquakes
Do scientist have the power to control or predict earthquakes?
Scientists have no power to control earthquakes, nor to specifically predict them, but a logical area that the earthquakes would take place is along the plates of the earths crust. (Their shifting leads to earthquakes)
How often should large earthquakes happen?
Large earthquakes - scientists predict they should happen every 80 years.
Can scientists predict when earthquakes will occur?
Earthquakes are dangerous to humeans and the environment because the plates collide. I LIKE PURPLE BANANAS
What can scientists predict about earthquakes?
Scientists can predict where earthquakes may occur. But they can't predict exactly when. For example, they're predicting that southern California will be the location of a major earthquake sometime within the 30 years time span of 2010-2040.
