We can't yet tell the exact time a deadly earthquake will strike. We can make educated guesses based on an increase or decrease in seismic activity over time.
eh, psychics? We don't know when they're going to occur in advance, they can only look at patterns of when faults slip or volcanoes erupt and guesstimate.
not at all..
I think it's a seismograph.
Yes. An earthquake may occur in the ocean.
No, they can't tell that it is a foreshock until a larger earthquake happens. (The largest main earthquake is called the mainshock)

dumb question
I think it's a seismograph.
Yes, One will probably occur eventually.
I'm going to go with Japan on this one.
No one knows for sure when the next earthquake is going to be anywhere. Thier could be more after shocks.
to prepare for it and save lives
Yes. An earthquake may occur in the ocean.
Aftershocks can occur hours or days after an earthquake.
Earthquakes are quite rare in NJ, and those that do occur are very weak.
Geologists use seismographs. They try to see when an earthquake is going to occur.
