Detailed explanation-1: -No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.
Detailed explanation-2: -The best method currently available to scientists and planners regarding earthquake forecasting is the record of seismic events that have occurred in an area in the past.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why can’t we predict earthquakes? These are dynamic systems, happening miles underground and occurring in slow geological time. So predicting when an earthquake would happen on any fault is not currently possible, and it’s going to be a long time before we can do it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Animal Behavior. Radon Gas Emissions. Earthquake Lights. Electric Signals. Syzygy. Ambient Noise. Magnetometers. 02-Aug-2016
