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 forces of nature are constantly changing the earth sometimes slowly as the Grand canyon and sometimes quickly as in the formation of a new island by volcanic eruption name two other ways in which?

Two other ways in which the forces of nature change the Earth are through earthquakes, which result from the movement of tectonic plates, and erosion, which shapes the land over time by wearing away rocks and soil.


When do volcanic earthquakes occur?

An earthquake can be caused in two different ways, there is a volcanic earthquake and a tectonic earthquake. Tectonics earthquakes are much more common than volcanic earthquakes. Volcanic earthquakes are when magma, or molten rock, moves underground. This can cause earthquake directly in what is called a harmonic tremor, or indirectly by breaking and shifting rock. A tectonic earthquake is when stress built up by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates is released in the form of shaking.

Why is it easier to predict where an earthquake epicenter will occur than it is to predict when it will occur?

I think you mean when. Earthquakes are made by two plates in the ground moving against each other. Its it to predict where because if you are near a plate boundaries (where two plates meet) then it is more likely for an earthquake to occur.

You can never predict when an Earthquake will come and go. It will most likely go when things settle down a bit. they COME when two plates underneath us drift apart, creating the Earthquake.


What are the three worst earthquakes?
