What else can I help you with?
Do scientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes?
Yes, through the use of global positioning systemsscientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes.
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 was can be used to predict earthquakes?
witchcraft
How do scientists predict a drought?
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.
Who are seismologests?
scientists who study earthquakes
Who invented the tiltmeter?
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.
Are scientist able to predict earthquakes?
no but scientists are working on it
A tiltmeter is a volcanic monitoring tool that measures?
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.
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 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 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
Why can't people predict when earthquakes occur?
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.
Why are earthquakes so difficult to predict?
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.
