yes as they are usually on the edge of tectonic plates which is the reason that the earthquake happened
a segment of an active fault zone that has not experienced a major earthquake over a span when most other segments have. such segments are probable sites for future major earthquakes
No. There is no way of predicting earthquakes and it is unlikely that a method to do so will be developed in the near future.
Haiti's earthquake has effected it's future in so many ways that i think there will be more than over 100 earthquakes that will happen in the future
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.
An area along a fault that has not experienced earthquake activity for an extended period is referred to as a "seismic gap." This term suggests that the region may be accumulating stress, potentially indicating a higher likelihood of future seismic activity. Seismic gaps are significant for earthquake forecasting and understanding the behavior of fault systems. Monitoring these gaps can help scientists assess the risk of future earthquakes in those areas.

You can't. Earthquakes and tsunamis cannot be prevented.
In some areas, this is true. Earthquakes are often the result of unreleased, pent-up stress. If this stress is not released, there is a stronger chance of a more devastating earthquake occurring. However, the frequent occurence of more moderate earthquakes does not mean there is no chance of a major earthquake in the future.
Not necessarily. Just because an earthquake has not occurred in a region for a long time does not guarantee that one will not happen in the future. It is still important to be prepared for earthquakes regardless of how long it has been since the last one.
While it is theoretically possible for a 10.0 earthquake to occur in the future, the likelihood of such a powerful earthquake happening in the near future is extremely low. Earthquakes of that magnitude are very rare and typically occur over longer time periods.
till now maximum time earthquake has happened in Chile and that is 9.5 minutes we can't say if there are earthquakes in future for more time.
False. The past occurrence of earthquakes does not guarantee that another earthquake won't happen in the future. Just because an area has not had an earthquake in over a hundred years does not mean that the risk of an earthquake occurring in the future is eliminated. Earthquakes can occur at any time and in any location where geological conditions are conducive to seismic activity.
A region where earthquakes are expected but has not experienced any seismic activity for a significant period of time is known as a seismic gap. Seismic gaps are areas along a fault line that have not ruptured recently, increasing the likelihood of a major earthquake in the future due to accumulating stress. Monitoring these zones is crucial for earthquake forecasting and preparedness.

Yes. Earthquakes are a common occurrence in California, and some of the faults have been known to produce major earthquakes. It is inevitable that more major earthquakes will strike California in the future, but there is no way of knowing when or where they will be centered.
