Why is it important for scientist to develop ways to predict earthquakes?
It is important for scientists to develop ways to predict earthquakes. By it they can measure when the next one would be.
Can you predict the part of the US mostly to experience strong earthquakes?
Yes. Earthquakes occur most often along fault lines. There are also many different devices (seismograph) that sense seismic waves and can predict earthquakes.
Which two ways do people predict earthquakes?
Two ways by which people do or do not predict earthquakes are the following:1. By way of their own senses, such as seeing burrowing animals appearing to be homeless when they should be inside their holes; hearing suddenly increased, agitated communication among birds just as suddenly stopped; and feeling pre-earthquake shock waves;- since humans are animals also, then whatever causes animal behaviour to change prior to an earthquake, could also affect human behaviour.2. By use of such scientific equipment as the creepmeter, global positioning system, laser light, magnetometer, and strainmeter to monitor the below ground presence of vibrations, soil and crust movements, disrupted light transmissions, and changed magnetic field.
What is the easiest thing to predict for earthquakes?
The easiest thing to predict for earthquakes is aftershocks, which are smaller earthquakes that follow a larger mainshock. These aftershocks tend to occur in the same region after the main earthquake and can be predicted using statistical models based on historical data.
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.
What animal can predict earthquakes?
Humans ... to some extent.It's possible that some animals may be able to detect, as opposed to predict, earthquakes a few instants sooner than humans can; but a lot of the supposed "predictions" made by animals are really just coincidences that would have quickly been dismissed and forgotten if they hadn't been followed by an earthquake.
Can scientist predict large earthquakes?
Scientists are able to predict large earthquakes to a certain extent. With the use of certain statistical methods, many earthquakes are able to be predicted.
What was can be used to predict earthquakes?
witchcraft
Why is it important for scientist to develop ways to predict earthquakes?
It is important for scientists to develop ways to predict earthquakes. By it they can measure when the next one would be.
Do scientist have the power to control or predict earthquakes?
Scientists have no power to control earthquakes, nor to specifically predict them, but a logical area that the earthquakes would take place is along the plates of the earths crust. (Their shifting leads to earthquakes)
What gas can be used to predict earthquakes?
radon
Do scientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes?
Yes, through the use of global positioning systemsscientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes.
How many earthquakes can there be in a year?
Nobody knows how many earthquakes can happen in a year because you cannot predict earthquakes. :)
Why was the Samoan earthquake not predicted?
You can't predict earthquakes
Where will the earthquake be on the 20th of March?
We can't predict earthquakes.
Are scientist able to predict earthquakes?
no but scientists are working on it
