At this point, scientists don't prevent earthquakes. But their predictions may help minimize an earthquake's damaging and destructive effects. Advance warning may allow people to make their properties more earthquake resistant and may let appropriate organizations have emergency preparedness measures in place.
What else can I help you with?
What are some ways people are trying to prevent tsunamis?
People are not trying to prevent tsunamis because scientists know tsunamis cannot be prevented.
Who predicts earthquakes?
Nobody. Currently we do not have any means of predicting earthquakes. Scientists who study earthquakes are called seismologists.
What type of scientists study volcanoes and earthquakes?
They are called volcanologists. It is a subset of geology.
How do scientists know about the structure of the earth's interior?
Because of the study of seismic waves from earthquakes
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.
What do scientists use to measure earthquakes?
Scientists use seismographs.
How do earthquakes allow scientists study earth's interior?
The seismic waves that the earthquakes make travel slowly and scientists can track them
Who are seismologests?
scientists who study earthquakes
What is the study of earthquakes and what is the instrument used by scientists to record earthquakes data?
Seismograph.
Why do scientists compare earthquakes to rubber bands?
comparing rubber bands to earthquakes is not common almost all scientists do not compare those two.
What type of people used the Chinese seismograph?
Chinese seismologists, e.g. scientists who study earthquakes and plate tectonics.
How do scientists read earthquakes?
using a seismograph
What do scientists measure earthquakes in?
the rictor scale
Do mountains prevent earthquake shocks?
Mountains do not prevent earthquakes, in fact mountains were created by the occurrence of earthquakes.
What are some ways people are trying to prevent tsunamis?
People are not trying to prevent tsunamis because scientists know tsunamis cannot be prevented.
What are scientists called when they study earthquakes?
Scientists who study earthquakes are called seismologists. They analyze and study the behavior, patterns, and effects of earthquakes to better understand seismic activity and improve earthquake prediction and mitigation.
What do scientists use to locate hidden faults?
Earthquakes
