Are scientists close to being able to accurately predict earthquakes?
yes. Many scientist have predicted earthquakes accurately before they occur, unfortunately they can only predict them a couple of seconds before they occur in your area and they are already occurring a few miles from where you live. But our government will spend a lot of money on earthquake predictions so when the big one hits there will be no money left to restore your house but there will be enough money to rebuild all the banks, savings and loans, stock brokers homes and buildings. This is similar to the 700 billion dollar bail out for the crooks that robbed the banks.
Why all earthquakes are not damaging?
Earthquakes vary greatly in intensity. Many are not strong enough to cause any notable damage. Additionally, in some earthquake-prone areas the buildings are built to withstand earthquakes, and so are less likely to be damaged.
Why has Britain had so many earthquakes?
Most parts of the world have small earthquakes every few days, small enough not to be noticed by people in general, only by instruments. Britain is fortunate that it generally has few earthquakes that cause damage, unlike places such as Pakistan and California that have had devastating earthquakes during the last 100 years or so.
Did the Japan Chile and Sumatra earthquakes shorten the Earths day enough to be responsible for the odd weather we are having?
maybe
Geologists cannot yet predict earthquakes because?
Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates, which are constantly moving and grinding against each other, create enough force to cause a seismic event. When enough pressure builds up to cause an earthquake is not predictable because we can't accurately measure such buildup.
Can Seismographs only detect earthquakes within 100 miles?
Seismographs can detect earthquakes from far beyond 100 miles if sensitive enough. Sometimes many instruments at great distances are used to calculate the severity of the quake.
How r earthquakes recorded?
An earthquake is recorded by a measurement called Richer scale and Mercille scale or the Seismometer. A seismometer is an instrument . . . While not sensitive enough to detect it.
Why is NZ earthquake territory?
Science records about 14,000 earthquakes in and around New Zealand each year. Most are small, but between 100 and 150 are big enough to be felt. The Institute records these earthquakes on a nationwide network of instruments called seismographs. New Zealand's position on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific plates is the reason for the large number of earthquakes.
How do you predict a volcanic eruption using GPS?
You don't. Prediction of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other geological phenomena cannot be made. Guesses might be made from measurement of land movement with GPS, small tremors with seismographs, and heat flow with IR scanners, but they aren't accurate enough to call them predictions.
Are there more earthquakes or tornadoes?
Earthquakes, by far, occur most frequently. On average, each year, there are about 1,800 tornadoes are recorded. The actual number of tornadoes is probably higher, most likely a few thousand, due to the many tornadoes that escape detection. By contrast, between five hundred thousand and 1 million earthquakes are recorded each year, of which 100,000 are strong enough to be felt.

How many earthquakes have they been in the last 5 years?
There are Earthquakes happening constantly. Some small enough that we don't feel.
Approximately how many earthquakes are strong enough to be felt each year worldwide?
Approximately 9000-10000 earthquakes strong enough to be felt occur worldwide each year.
What is the percentage of earthquakes each year?
On average, there are about 20,000 earthquakes each year that are strong enough to be felt. This number can vary from year to year. The majority of earthquakes are small and go unnoticed by people.
When the force on rock is great enough they break producing vibrations is called?
The answer is Earthquakes.
