I had to read that twice! I thought you said gyno's! But seriously, they have sizmic (?) stations all over the continent and are continuosly reading changes that effect them!

Seismic gaps.
Why are large magnitude earthquakes infrequent?
Large earthquakes release a lot of energy, and it takes a long time for this energy to build up in faults, so they don't occur that often.
What are long range predictions of earthquakes based?

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.
