What is the chance of another earthquake happening in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are very common. Like in Minnesota, some earthquakes are so small, they cant feel them! If you mean the chances of a catastrophic earthquake, not very high. The big earthquake that just happened recently was the 4th biggest earthquake in RECORDED JAPAN HISTORY. which should tell you how low the chance is. But if you mean the chances of a small one, still not very high, but higher than a catasrtrophic one. Japan has earthquakes a lot, and i went to Tokyo a few weeks ago, and i was there for about a week. up until the big earthquake (which was 2 days before my birthday), there werent any. But after the big one, the aftershocks were non-stop. the chance of aftershocks(which are smaller earthquakes after a regular one) are very high, especially after a catastrophic one. But dont fret- as long as you get to a safe place- like under a table or stand in a doorway- you should be just fine. Japan is a BEAUTIFUL country, and i would move there in a heartbeat!
What is the difference between the predictability and frequency of hurricanes and earthquakes?
Unlike an earthquake, scientists can track and predict a hurricane as it begins to develop as they take days to form. Earthquakes, by contrast, strike suddenly and without warning rarely lasting much longer than a minute. The only means of earthquake prediction we have involves risk assessment on a long term basis, for example estimating tha chances of a given area having a major earthquake in the next 50 years.
