There are many signs we can lean on in regards to an upcomming event.

The problem is that these signs are not failproof.

We are aware of many of the dynamics and mechanichs leading to an earthquake, but we do not know yet what the final drop is.

We try to make statistics, but statistics fail or is inaccurate at its best.

We know that earthquake one place may set off a chainreaction of earthquakes in other places.

There are simply too many variables in the puzzle in order to make accurate predictions.

On the lighter side:

Some scientists have actually made machines than can push forward an earthquake.

The idea behind is to release tension in earths crust before it build up too much.

Instead of having a lvl 7 or 8 earthquake, this machine can set it off much before, and we would maybe have only a couple of lvl 4 or 5 earthquakes instead.

Governments however are quite reluctant to allow further use of this machine.

When is the next England earthquake?

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.


Will the earthquake in 2012 happen?

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.


Is an 8.0 earthquake going to happen today?

There is no way to accurately predict earthquakes with such specificity. Earthquakes can occur unexpectedly due to various factors and are not tied to specific dates. It is always important to be prepared and stay informed about earthquake safety measures.


Can scientist predict large earthquakes?

Do scientist have the power to control or predict earthquakes?

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)
