What have you learned about earthquakes and earthquake prediction?
Thousands of earthquakes occur worldwide each year. Earthquakes forecasts are based on statistics. Earthquakes occur most commonly along tectonic plate boundaries and in convergent zones, but also occur along stress faults (see China screen shot below.) Scientists use models to help them predict the statistical likelihood that an earthquake will occur in a given region.
What factors influence earthquake prediction?
Information from past earthquake events as well as day-to-day motion (measurements) along plates & faults,
Where on Earth do most of the really big earthquakes strike?
Earthquakes occur most commonly along tectonic plate boundaries and in plate convergent zones.
