How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere
but happen in certain areas. They happen in places where pieces of the Earth"s
surface meet. For example,earthquakes often occur on the west-coast of North
and South America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of
Asia. Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s
surface, like a sudden drop of water level in the ground. Some people say
animals can predict earthquakes. Before
earthquakes, people have seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the
water, snakes leaving their holes and other animals acting strangely. After an
earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water, and medical
supplies. The amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where
it happens, what time it happens, and how strong it is. It also depends on types
of buildings, soil conditions and population. Of the 6000 earthquakes on the
earth each year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.
