Scientist use data from a network of seismographs connected to
each other to gather safisticated detailed,
measurements of earthquakes around the world. However these networks
help very little with earthquake predictions, since they only measure
quakes that happen scientist can use other methods to get an idea
where earthquakes are likley to happen.Modern day scientists are using such safisticated devices as lazers and satelites systems to predict how faults are moving.
Though this is not earthquake prediction, the data is giving
scientists better ideas of where earthquakes are going to occur in
the future, and can help people prepare for the eventual earthquake.
Predicting earhquakes is not yet possible for scientists to do,
but they hope that they will one day find a way. Although scientists
can not predict them now, sometimes scientits know what regions an
earthquake might hit. What they do is use the information from
previous earthquakes to figure out a region it might hit.Siesmologists
look out closely on certain selected places where giant earthquakes
are expected.
