Scientists can't predict Earthquakes because they are unpredictable, they could happen anywhere.

However Scientists can say that a Earthquake will probably happen there, but they won't be able to say the time or the date, so it may as well be a useless statement.

What is a seisomologist?

A seismologist is a scientist who studies earthquakes and seismic waves to understand the behavior of the Earth's crust and predict seismic activity. They analyze data from seismographs to investigate the causes of earthquakes, study the Earth's interior, and help assess the potential risks of earthquakes in various regions.
