Earthquake prediction

QuakeFinder

They can "predict" when and where they think a quake will happen.

so can I, but are they accurate?

We can't predict when and where an earthquake will happen. But yes, we can tell you where we think one will occur...

any fault...any time...

More accurate than your predictions I'm sure

It says that:

the reliability and reproducibility of prediction techniques have not been established and are therefore generally not accepted by seismologists.
For practical purposes, seismologists bring forth seismic hazard assessment programs by estimating the probabilities that a given earthquake or suite of earthquakes will occur.

There ya go.

I think you are arguing with the wrong people, they study this for a living

I, too, am able to predict when an earthquake will occur with better than 99.999999% accuracy relative to the age of the earth.

I'm not arguing.

I was copying and pasting what was written on wiki... and we all know wiki is always right.

Originally posted by woscar99 Not really, to have a tsunami the quake has to be very far away from the coast to give it time to build up. If it's too close to the shore, it can't pick up enough water or speed to cause any major damage.

that's why i said it was a good thing that it didn't happen over the water (regardless of how far away it was)

ps, earthquakes occuring in one season? that's like saying the late night thread is only for the usa (i.e. there's a late night everywhere in the world at every hour of the day, and earthquakes can happen at any time around the world ---on fault lines, obviously--- as well).

winter tornadoes? they happen too. but typcially occur between certain months of the year.

you can predict earthquakes to an extent.

mostly around volcanoes. if small tremors begging to happen you know there will be a big one before either the volcano errupts. they usually come at the same time... earthquake (big or small) and volcano erruptions.
