- Earthquake prediction
- Can they be predicted?
- At present, seismologists cannot reliably predict the specific time, place, or magnitude of an earthquake.
- What they can offer is general probabilities (forecasts) that areas may undergo some size of seismic activity within a time span (very much like a weather forecast, but not quite so certain) such as a 67% chance that San Francisco Bay will see a M6.7 in the next 30 years.
