    The build-up of strains and stresses along earthquake fault lines has been used to try to predict earthquakes. It's measured by such scientific equipment as creepmeters, global positioning systems, laser light, magnetometers, and strainmeters that coordinate the use of the seismometer and the seismograph. The measures warn of the presence of underground vibrations, the movement of the earth's soil and crust, the modifications to magnetic field activity, and the disruption of light beam transmissions that are part of the earthquake experience.

    Which method is not used to predict earthquakes?

    Method not used to predict earthquakes is astrology. Earthquakes are typically predicted using scientific methods such as seismology, GPS monitoring, and studying patterns of seismic activity. Astronomical events do not have a proven correlation with predicting earthquakes.

    No!


    The build-up of what has been used to try to predict earthquakes?

    Scientists have used various methods to predict earthquakes, including monitoring seismic activity, studying fault lines, analyzing electromagnetic signals, and tracking groundwater levels. Despite these efforts, accurately predicting when and where an earthquake will occur remains a significant challenge due to the complex and unpredictable nature of the Earth's crust.

    Computer Model


    What is the us of sersmograph?

    Electronically records movements in the earth's crust and is used to monitor and predict earthquakes.


    Which gas can be used to predict earthquakes?

    Radon is the gas that can [or cannot!] be used to predict earthquakes. Its levels noticeably may rise in basements and wells. That's because of the air and water escape routes that may form in soil 6-24 hours before an earthquake.


    Which scientific instrument is used to predict or measure earthquakes?

    The strainmeter, by which its seismometer component detects the vibrations or shock waves that its seismograph records, is the scientific instrument that's used to predict and measure earthquakes.


    What are the uses of technology in avoiding disasters?

    Seismographs show vibrations, for earthquakes. Much tech is used to predict weather and find dangerous storms.
