Can scientist predict earthquakes?
Earthquake prediction is currently not possible, as such, seismologists will attempt to quantify the risk posed by a particular fault zone rather than state exactly when an earthquake will occur. For more information, please see the related question.
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.
Why do not any of you know the answer for what time eartquakes occur?
About 300 or so measurable earthquakes occur around the world each day. So far, it is not possible to predict the time when an earthquake will occur. The best scientists can do is predict the frequency (once in how many years) an earthquake of a specific intensity will occur on a given fault line.
When could the next large earthquake occur on the san Andreas fault?
Around 30 years is what scientists predict
Can anybody predict earthquakes?
No. Although seismologists are able to provide a risk assessment of a fault zone saying how likely it is that an earthquake will occur and how large it may be, but are not able to state exactly when it will happen. For more information, please see the related question.
When is the next England earthquake?
It is impossible to predict exactly when the next earthquake will occur in England or any other specific location. Earthquakes can happen at any time, so it is important to be prepared and have emergency plans in place.
With the range of data available geologists cannot predict exactly where and when earthquakes will occur true or false?
True. Geologists can identify regions that are more prone to earthquakes based on historical data and tectonic plate activity, but they cannot predict the exact time or location of a specific earthquake. Despite advancements in seismology, the complex nature of geological processes makes precise predictions currently impossible.
When did the earthquake occur exactly in Japan?
on 11th march 2011 at 9.am earthquake occur exactly in japan
What is a person who tries to predict when and where an earthquake will occur?
A volcanologist
When is an earthquake likely to occur?
Earthquakes can occur anytime, but are more likely in regions along fault lines or plate boundaries. Seismologists cannot predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, so it's important to be prepared and have emergency plans in place.
When the range of data available geologists cannot predict exactly where and when earthquakes will occur.?
Geologists cannot predict the exact timing and location of earthquakes due to the complex and chaotic nature of tectonic processes. While they can identify areas of high seismic risk based on historical data and geological features, the specific conditions that trigger an earthquake remain unpredictable. Additionally, the timescales involved in tectonic movements can span years to centuries, making precise forecasting challenging. As a result, earthquake prediction often relies on probabilistic models rather than precise predictions.

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.
Who first used the siesmograph work?
Geologists use seismographs. They try to see when an earthquake is going to occur.

How do scientist predict earthquake?
Seismologists attempt to quantify the risk posed by a particular fault zone rather than state exactly when an earthquake will occur (as this is currently impossible).For more information, please see the related question.Yes Kashmir was predicted an earthquake but scientists predicted an atrocious earthquake which would wipe out most of India. But it gave the strength of 7.6 on the Richter scale which was less than they feared
