Tiltmeters use laser technology and GPS equipment to measure the slope of the ground level very accurately.
If there is an abnormal, sudden tilt in the ground, there is a chance that an earthquake is on its way.
Yes, through the use of global positioning systemsscientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes.
It is important so that they can possibly predict future earth movements as to when and where it will happen. Ex: earthquakes

redicting the size, location, and timing of natural hazards is virtually impossible, but now, earth scientists are able to forecast hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and landslides using fractals.
scientists who study earthquakes
The tiltmeter is an invention that helps predict earthquakes by detecting tilts in the earths crust. It was invented by George E. Merritt in 1932.
no but scientists are working on it
The tiltmeter measures changes in the slope of the ground, which can indicate pressure changes beneath the surface of a volcano. By tracking these changes, scientists can monitor volcanic activity and potentially predict eruptions.
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.
It is important for scientists to develop ways to predict earthquakes. By it they can measure when the next one would be.
Yes, through the use of global positioning systemsscientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes.
They are scientists which monitor, record and forecast about 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)
Large earthquakes - scientists predict they should happen every 80 years.
Earthquakes are dangerous to humeans and the environment because the plates collide. I LIKE PURPLE BANANAS
Earthquakes do not happen in stages, or are visibly predictable like hurricanes or tornadoes. For example, we can use radars and weather tools to detect them. Earthquakes on the other hand, don't happen in stages so we can not precisely predict the exact timing of the earthquake. Scientists have other ways to predict earthquakes, even thought they can not predict the precise timing of the quakes. See the question below to see how scientists (seismologists) can predict roughly when and how much damage an earthquake can impose.
Earthquakes are difficult to predict because they are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, which is complex and constantly changing. Scientists have not yet found a reliable way to accurately forecast when and where earthquakes will occur.
