Why is it difficult for geologists to make short term predictions about earthquakes?
There is no way for them to predict one.
What conditions makes it difficult to predict the occurrence of the next earthquake?
Earthquakes is most often caused due to colliding of plates in the Earth's crust. As these plates are moving constantly it is not easy to know when they will collide. So it is difficult to predict earthquake.
Why do scientist want to be able to predict earthquakes?
Scientists want to be able to predict earthquakes to save peoples lives.
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.
Why tsunamis are difficult to predict?
Tsunamis are difficult to predict because the earthquakes that cause them are difficult to predict. It takes a massively powerful earthquake to displace the amount of water needed to cause a tsunami.
What are the disadvantages of seismographs?
They do not predict earthquakes.
What was can be used to predict earthquakes?
witchcraft
What makes predicting earthquakes so hard?
Earthquakes is most often caused due to colliding of plates in the Earth's crust. As these plates are moving constantly it is not easy to know when they will collide. So it is difficult to predict earthquake.
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.
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)
What gas can be used to predict earthquakes?
radon
What are the disadvantages of a seismograph?
They don't predict earthquakes.
