What conditions makes it difficult to predict the occurrence of the next earthquake?
Earthquakes is most often caused due to colliding of plates in the Earth's crust. As these plates are moving constantly it is not easy to know when they will collide. So it is difficult to predict earthquake.
What is the amount of ground displacement in an earthquake?
Ground displacement in an earthquake can vary, but typically ranges from a few centimeters to several meters depending on the magnitude of the earthquake and the type of fault movement involved. Subduction zone earthquakes can result in larger displacements compared to strike-slip or normal faults.
How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
How is a tornado similar to an earthquake?
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.
What can seismologists learn from studying the damage caused by an earthquake?
I think scientist study earthquakes and rock formations because they can tell you what is inside the Earth and what kinds of fossils there are.....Btw..... now you don't have to think of how to restate this question either!
What are seismoscopes used for?
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.
What are the identified earthquake generators in Philippine archipelago?
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.
Can earthquakes be measured and predicted?
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.
How do tell predict when lighting will strike?
its impossible to know exactly where lightning will strike
When is there going to be an earthquake?
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!
Is there going to be an earthquake?
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!

How do the rocks in a strike-slip fault move?
It's a earthquake where two plates move sideways from eachother for example the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip earthquake.
When did the 2010 Haiti earthquake strike?
January 12th.In my words.
