If scientist cant predict when earthquakes will happen why do they still studt these natural events?

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.


What type of earth scientist will study the ways of predicting earthquakes?

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.


Why do scientist want to be able to predict earthquakes?

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.

Can scientist predict earthquakes?

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.
