Is there a way to predict earthquake ?

Question

Is there a way to predict earthquake ?

Answer 1

animals always show signs. my dog always starts acting funny a day before we have an earthquake

Answer 2

No. There is no way to predict an earthquake animals sometimes predict an earthquake.

Answer 3

No, the USGS monitors for seismic activity, but they can't predict an earthquake yet.

Answer 4

There is no ture way to predict at this time. Animals seem to be able to sense it but this is not fool proof. There is work on sensors that can detect small movements before the quake occurs but this is still some time off before perfection.

Answer 5

I have a book, its name is EARTHQUAKE, by Time Life, (intersting), printed in 1983, you can see there an statment saying a big earthquake was due in central México becouse of decades  to "silence" of sismographers  in the so called Michoacan "gap". Then, in 1985 we had a BIG sism that destroyed much of México city, the epycenter was Michoacán "gap",  México. Those are now only raw guess, no exact prediction can be done, since  the source of earthquakes is dozens of kilometers below surface, or even deepper.

Answer 6

Read the fallowing but unproved methods. Just now I am able to notice number of persons from Sanfrancisco complains they see red moon .It may also a symptom of warning of earthquakes.

Methods for prediction of earthquakes & Tsunami

Even though it is difficult to predict, the following methods may help.

.

1. Seismic gape: - The earthquake at a particular place may occur for every fixed gape of time. By knowing the past records of the quakes affected at that place may help to decide when the earthquake is next due.

2. Planet position.: - When the stress is accumulated at the tectonic plate boundary and the same time if the position of more than 2 planets comes in a straight line this may help to accelerate the earthquakes. There fore the full moon days and new moon days are more vulnerable days for earthquakes. Some time this method fails why? Think of a sick patient. New moon and full moon days are dangerous for only sick patents. These days will not affect the healthy people. The same way if there is no accumulated stress at the tectonic plate boundaries no need to worry about the planet positions.

3. Sun rays falling method: - If you observe the position of the sun rays falling on our wall at a particular time on all days it should form an angular infinity symbol. If there is any deviation in its path it means that there is some difference in height of the earth. That means some strain noticed at that place. Somebody claims that they can predict the place of epicenter by observing this. The laser beam measuring method of earth height from satellite also will help.

4. MDCB:- Chinese scientist claims that they can predict up to 60 % accuracy by sensing electro magnetic rays.

5. Cloud forming: - Few hours to a few days before the occurrence of earthquakes a cloud reader claims that he has noticed a peculiar mosaic type of formation .We may also notice some lightening in the sky.

6. By sound :- A professor from Ajmeer University claims that he was able to hear a low frequency noise under 125 meter depth in a bore well. The same thing was reported by one Mr. Nair that he heard some roaring noise under the earth one week before the occurrence of earthquake in Gujarat.

7. By frequency of waves :-  Mr Richter Allen of Berkley University claims that he can decide the magnitude of earthquake just  4 seconds after observing the frequency of the primary wave. Present method needs the full seismographic picture to find the real magnitude that too from as many places as possible to have fairly accurate results. His claim has got some truth because when there is a slip of bigger tectonic plate the frequency of quake will be less. If a small tectonic plate slips the frequency of the waves will be more.

8. There are several changes in nature and in the behaviors of animals and birds can be observed before an earthquake and Tsunami. The water level in well may change. Stay away from beaches if you sense earthquake waves. The Tsunami may attack long after the shaking is stopped. I wrote several articles on these subjects.  

Have one simple earthquake alarm installed in your house.
