Animals can sense when something is wrong, and slight changes in weather. The movies surely do exagerate just a bit, but some senses do kick in and tell the animal whats happening. However, this is most common with birds and dogs.
It is important for scientists to develop ways to predict earthquakes. By it they can measure when the next one would be.
Yes. Earthquakes occur most often along fault lines. There are also many different devices (seismograph) that sense seismic waves and can 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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)

Yes, through the use of global positioning systemsscientists use satellite data to predict earthquakes.
Nobody knows how many earthquakes can happen in a year because you cannot predict earthquakes. :)
You can't predict earthquakes
We can't predict earthquakes.
no but scientists are working on it
