Five instruments that may be used in an attempt to predict an earthquake are the following:
1. Creepmeter, which straddles the fault line and shows when the soil above the earth's crust starts to move as part of an earthquake;
2. Global positioning system, which shows when the earth's crust starts to shift as part of an earthquake;
3. Laser light, which straddles the fault line and shows when a light beam from one side isn't transmitted in the expected amount of time or to the expected place on the other;
4. Magnetometer, which shows the changes that are made to the magnetic field by the underground activities leading to an earthquake;
5. Strain meters, through the coordinated use of the seismograph and seismometer, to show the presence of the vibrations that lead up to and are part of an earthquake.
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.
Which tool do you use to predict an earthquake?
They use a seismograph
What do scientists use to locate hidden faults?
Earthquakes
How do scientists predict earthquakes with a tiltmeter?
Tiltmeters use laser technology and GPS equipment to measure the slope of the ground level very accurately. If there is an abnormal, sudden tilt in the ground, there is a chance that an earthquake is on its way.
What is the tool scientists use to measure the strength of seismic waves'?
Seismograph
Do scientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes?
Yes, through the use of global positioning systemsscientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes.
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.
what does job does a seismologist do?
They are scientists which monitor, record and forecast about earthquakes
How do scientists predict tsunami?
they use satellites to see if there is high or low pressure.
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.
Do scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquakes?
Yes, scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquake activity, because volcanic and earthquake activity go together. Volcanic eruptions spew out lava whose source is in the magma of the mantle. Earthquakes are caused by heat from the mantle making crustal [or lithospheric or tectonic] plates move.
What do scientists use to measure earthquakes?
Scientists use seismographs.
Which tool do you use to predict an earthquake?
They use a seismograph
What do scientists use to locate hidden faults?
Earthquakes
How do scientists know where an earthquake is going to strike?
they can predict it when its coming or when it hits its impossiblethey use a tool to help them find itor they go on a boat and find bubble underwaterthey collect rocks to see if it split in halfthey do a test run
Is there set times when an earthquake occurs?
Earthquakes can occur at any time of day or night, without warning. They are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust along fault lines. Monitoring systems are in place to detect and provide early warning for earthquakes, but it is not possible to predict exactly when they will happen.
How do scientists predict earthquakes with a tiltmeter?
Tiltmeters use laser technology and GPS equipment to measure the slope of the ground level very accurately. If there is an abnormal, sudden tilt in the ground, there is a chance that an earthquake is on its way.
