According to the USGS National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world -- that's on average 3,561 per day or 2.5 per minute. Only a portion of these are recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean.
Approximately 1 earthquake of magnitude 8.0 and higher occurs per year around the world.
Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction was created in 1969.
The difference between a earthquake forecast and an earthquake prediction us that an earth quake forecast is when people say whats gonna happen and a prediction is what scientist think what might happen.
When 3 different earthquake stations have a radius of the area of the quake. When combined, there should only be one area overlaping with all 3 circles (radius that the stations measured) and where it overlaps, there is your epicenter. :)
when God wants it
There has never been a recorded instance of an earthquake prediction having been proven accurate. Often times, however, stories claiming this to be the case arise after earthquakes (or other natural disasters).

yes it cant:D
they say that it happens every second

After making a prediction, the next step is to conduct an experiment or gather data to test the validity of the prediction. This allows you to evaluate whether your prediction was accurate and make any necessary adjustments.
well, it is expected to be in the next 20 years... it is a known fact by all the world
