Can scientists predict earthquake?
Answers
Answer:
Scientists have not predicted the earthquakes till now but there is possibilities.
Explanation:
Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake.USGS scientists can only calculate the probability that a significant earthquake will occur in a specific area within a certain number of years. Part of the scientific community hold that, taking into account non-seismic precursors and given enough resources to study them extensively, prediction might be possible, most scientists are pessimistic and some maintain that earthquake prediction is inherently impossible.
Earthquake prediction is a branch of the science of seismology concerned with the specification of the time, location, and magnitude of future earthquakes within stated limits, and particularly the determination of parameters for the next strong earthquake to occur in a region.
