Earthquake prediction From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seismic hazard map of the San Francisco Bay Area, showing the probability of a major earthquake occurring by 2032. An earthquake prediction is a prediction that an earthquake in a specific magnitude range will occur in a specific region and time window. Seismologists are not currently able to predict earthquakes with such accuracy, though the early results of the Demeter satellite suggest that this could become possible[1]; instead they focus on calculating the seismic hazards of a region by estimating the probabilities that a given earthquake or suite of earthquakes will occur.
