Scientists know that the studies they are doing on earthquakes will lead to accurate predictions of earthquakes true or false?

False. While studies on earthquakes can improve our understanding of the Earth's dynamics and mechanisms that cause earthquakes, accurately predicting when and where earthquakes will occur is currently not possible. Earthquakes are complex natural events with many variables at play, making accurate predictions challenging.

Can we hear earthquakes?

Yes, we can hear earthquakes, but not in the same way we hear sounds in everyday life. The vibrations caused by seismic waves can produce low-frequency sounds, often described as a rumbling or roaring noise, especially during larger quakes. However, these sounds are typically very subtle and may be drowned out by other environmental noises. Most people are more likely to feel the shaking than to hear it.

Can oil extractions cause earthquakes?

Not often does it happen on a large scale, but some oil drilling causes miniature ground shakes. This would not be noticeable by anyone, and it would also be so small that it would cause no damage. If you are asking if it causes earthquakes like the ones you hear on the news, then the answer is no.
