What are short-term predictions of earthquake behavior?

Short term predictions of earthquake behaviour or even earthquake predictions in general have not occured yet. Many even question if earthquakes will ever be able to be predicted. Even the earthquakes that have supposedly been predicted correctly have controversy behind the method


Why is it difficult for geologists to make short term predictions about earthquakes?

There is no way for them to predict one.


Are there several reliable methods of short-range earthquake predictions?

Yes.


Who can you get prior information about earthquake?

Predicting earthquakes is quite difficult. Long term predictions are imprecise but possible. They can estimate within 100 or so years when an eruption will occur. They study slip rates, slip magnitudes, and fault history. Short term predictions are precise, but very difficult. It is based on fluid pressure, gas release, changes in magnetic fields, foreshocks, and gaps in earthquake records.


What is the difference between long-term earthquakes and short-term?

long term earthquakes are earthquakes that are for a long period of time and short term earthquakes are when the earthquakes are for a short period of time


What term effect does an earthquakes long term or short term?

Answer: Short Term


Are dipole-dipole forces short-range or long-range?

short -range


Are predictions of earthquakes on a short-term time frame now possible?

I'm sure that we can arrive to certain definite probabilities. It is different a Magn. near 9.0 than a 7.5. The methods are not the sames. For the Big One, California we have a year without great risk, but until 2 years the situation will be otherwise. Alexis (please see sci. geo. earthquakes, Google Groups).

What is the range of gravity?

very short range


How long do earth quakes last?

Earthquakes are very short, almost never longer than 1 minute, usually around 30 seconds. Weaker aftershocks occur afterward, these are around 10 seconds. The aftershocks are also very short, usually shorter than the initial earthquake. But in that small amount of time, earthquakes can cause massive damage.
