It is important for scientists to develop ways to predict earthquakes. By it they can measure when the next one would be.
Seismologists are earth scientists who study the ways of predicting earthquakes by examining seismic activity and plate tectonics. They use data from seismometers to analyze and monitor earthquake patterns to develop models for predicting when and where earthquakes may occur.
Predicting earthquakes can help save lives by providing advance warning to people in affected areas. It can also help with disaster preparedness and emergency response planning. Furthermore, understanding how and when earthquakes occur can lead to advancements in seismology and earthquake engineering.
There will be earthquakes in 2012 (and there already have been), as earthquakes occur every day. If you are referring to the global earthquake that is supposed to end the world, then no. Such an event is impossible.
Yes. Earthquakes occur most often along fault lines. There are also many different devices (seismograph) that sense seismic waves and can predict earthquakes.
It is impossible to predict exactly when the next earthquake will occur in England or any other specific location. Earthquakes can happen at any time, so it is important to be prepared and have emergency plans in place.
no but scientists are working on it
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)
they are caused by earthquakes and the scientist measure the earthquake magnitude and the predict.
A seismologist would be involved with the study of methods to predict earthquakes. Seismology is a sub branch of geophysics.
They can't predict the time or the location of earthquakes. They can provide probable data on expected times and location an earthquake with better assurance than in the past but not exact times or dates.

Predict this, scientist!
To find out where and when they erupt incase there near you . And you will not die.
Earthquake prediction is currently not possible, as such, seismologists will attempt to quantify the risk posed by a particular fault zone rather than state exactly when an earthquake will occur. For more information, please see the related question.
The are important because if the occur a number of times scientist can use the patterns to predict things
