I'm answering this the old-fashioned way: with a current literature search (since January 2012)--
Deep-water bottom current research in the northern South China Sea using a reflection seismic method - (Acta Oceanica Sinica 2012-02) - ChinaEarthquake hazards: Putting seismic research to most effective use (Nature 783:7388) - California Traveling ionospheric disturbances: simulation and observation, the importance of latitudinal coupling of gravity wave-Perkins-Es layer instabilities and forcing from pre-seismic events (not yet in press) - Brasil An Introduction to the Regional Italian Project ProSisMu Devoted to the Seismic Protection of Ancient Masonry Structures (Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE), 2012 IEEE 21st International Workshop) - ItalySeismic Design Scope of Tower Structures for UHV Transmission Lines on the Zone of Earthquake Fortification Intensity 8 (Advanced Materials Research (Volumes 446 - 449) - Chinaand 13,000+ other entries, about equally divided between technologies to detect/predict earthquakes and methods to protect structures from earthquake damage
What else can I help you with?
What are scientists called when they study earthquakes?
Scientists who study earthquakes are called seismologists. They analyze and study the behavior, patterns, and effects of earthquakes to better understand seismic activity and improve earthquake prediction and mitigation.
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.
5 How do scientists know the exact spot where an earthquake begins?
Scientists use instruments called seismometers to detect and record seismic waves emitted by earthquakes. By analyzing the timing and intensity of these waves at different monitoring stations, scientists can triangulate the epicenter of the earthquake and determine its exact location.
The scale most widely used by scientists for measuring earthquakes is?
The scale most widely used by scientists for measuring earthquakes is the Richter scale. This scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake based on the energy released at the source.
What is a sisemograph?
a tool used by scientists to measure earthquakes by movement
How do scientists know about the structure of the earth's interior?
Because of the study of seismic waves from earthquakes
Can humans predic earthquakes?
Yes they can but only a couple of minutes before it strikes. Scientists know where earthquakes could occur but the when is unknown until a few minutes beforehand.
What do scientists use to measure earthquakes?
Scientists use seismographs.
How do earthquakes allow scientists study earth's interior?
The seismic waves that the earthquakes make travel slowly and scientists can track them
Can scientists know where past earthquakes were?
By looking at the rocks and the way the layers of rock are stacked scientist feel they have pretty good idea of the time and severity of many past earthquakes.
Who are seismologests?
scientists who study earthquakes
What is the study of earthquakes and what is the instrument used by scientists to record earthquakes data?
Seismograph.
Is there going to be an earthquake on the 20th in christchurch?
Nobody can know that for sure. Earthquakes are unpredictable and scientists have not been able to predict them at this time.
Why do scientists compare earthquakes to rubber bands?
comparing rubber bands to earthquakes is not common almost all scientists do not compare those two.
How do scientists read earthquakes?
using a seismograph
What do scientists measure earthquakes in?
the rictor scale
Why are map showing locations of past earthquakes useful to scientists?
Earthquakes happen when the Earth's crust shifts violently. So if we know that an earthquake has happened in California, then scientist know that the crust under California is unstable, therefore making earthquakes more likely to happen there. Earthquakes can happen anywhere, but the tend to happen repeatedly in certain spots
