In order to attempt to predict earthquakes, seismologists will attempt to measure the movement of the crust around a fault zone to estimate the total strain that has accumulated. This measurement is often made using high precision GPS to measure relative positions of surface features around the fault zone.
They may also use terrestrial laser scanning equipment which can measure changes in the ground shape (essentially recording deformation) or by using a special form of radar and a technique called synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR for short). This process essentially involves the use of a radar to create a series of very accurate relief maps of the ground surface over time and then to compare the maps to create a final plot showing the changes between them which is essentially a record of the land surface deformation.
They may also use strain gauges and tilt metres within boreholes to observe ground deformations as well as a technology known as time domain reflectometry which is an electrical technique used to locate damage and deformation in electrical cables and which in turn can be used to measure deformations.
Computer Model
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.
A seismologist is a scientist who studies earthquakes and seismic waves. They use tools such as seismometers, GPS, and satellite imagery to detect and locate earthquakes. Seismologists also analyze data from networks of seismic stations to understand the behavior of earthquakes.
Geologists can not predict an earthquake in the way the weather forecasters can predict hurricanes or tornadoes. There is seismic activities that can indicate an earthquake may be eminent though.
Some algorithms commonly used for earthquake prediction through data mining include support vector machines, neural networks, decision trees, and clustering algorithms. These algorithms analyze various seismic data parameters to identify patterns and trends that may indicate an increased likelihood of earthquake occurrence. The goal is to create predictive models that can help forecast seismic events with improved accuracy.

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.

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

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