Seismic generators have been set in the Philippine Archipelago. This has been done in order to predict the approximate time that an earthquake may strike.
It's a earthquake where two plates move sideways from eachother for example the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip earthquake.

japan knew about it 15 minutes before it was soon to happen
false.
A seismoscope is an instrument used to measure vibrations of the earth's crust. Generally, scientists use these readings to predict when an earthquake will strike. They can also use this to measure the length and magnitude of an earthquake.

People cannot really predict when a volcano or earthquake will strike. But if they do know there will be one they should evacuate. In earthquake-prone areas, buildings are constructed to withstand strong earthquake forces.
Although they are driven by completely different mechanisms, both earthquakes and tornadoes are natural disasters that strike suddenly and are difficult if not impossible to predict. with a tornado you usually get a few minutes warning. With an earthquake there is no warning.
Geologists can not predict an earthquake in the way the weather forecasters can predict hurricanes or tornadoes. There is seismic activities that can indicate an earthquake may be eminent though.
its impossible to know exactly where lightning will strike
The truth is is we don't know when a earthquake will strike, it can strike any day, anywhere, and anytime, so be prepared when it strikes!

Educated guesses (Statistical data, probability, etc). There is no known method for predicting (forecasting) when an earthquake might strike. Seismographs are used to detect but cannot predict earthquakes.
