Why is it easier to predict where an earthquake will occur than when?
Because earthquakes tend to occur where there are stresses in the crust which lead to the storage of energy in the form of elastic strain. This tends to occur at plate boundaries and this deformation can be monitored by scientists. This lets them know that an earthquake is likely to occur in a particular area, but it does not enable them to say when it will occur.
Why do scientists think that an earthquake will occur at the San Andrea's fault?
Because it is a fault and earthquakes usually occur near faults.
Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
Earthquakes are likely to occur along tectonic plate boundaries where there is movement and stress in the Earth's crust. Volcanoes are likely to occur at convergent plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries, and hotspots where magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface.
What can scientists predict about earthquakes?
Scientists can predict where earthquakes are likely to occur based on the movement of tectonic plates. They can also estimate the magnitude of potential earthquakes by studying historical seismic activity in a region. However, predicting the exact time, location, and intensity of an earthquake is still a major challenge in the field of seismology.
Where are volcano and earthquakes likely to occur?
Between plate or along fault lines.
Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?
Yes, they are likely to occur.
Are earthquakes likely to occur in Fiji?
NO.
Where in Australia are earthquakes most likely to occur?
Australia
What do earthquakes that occur on seafloor produce?
tsunamis are likely
What are volcanoes and earthquakes likely to occur?
If you mean "where" earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur it is in what's called the "ring of fire" which is the coastal ring around the Pacific Ocean.
Can scientists predict when earthquakes will occur?
Earthquakes are dangerous to humeans and the environment because the plates collide. I LIKE PURPLE BANANAS

Earthquakes are most likely to occur in Europe?
alpine system
Where is the location where earthquakes be likely to occur?
Along fault lines.
Where is earthquakes most likely to occur?
earthquakes are most likely to occur on the rim of tectonic plates
Can mapping earthquakes help identify faultlines?
Yes, mapping earthquakes can help identify faultlines because earthquakes tend to occur along faults in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates interact. By analyzing the locations and patterns of earthquakes, scientists can better understand the distribution of faults and their potential for future seismic activity. This information is crucial for assessing seismic hazard and risk in earthquake-prone regions.
