[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any predictions for the next year or so? Where will be the next big one?[/quote] There is no valid method for predicting earthquakes. The current state of the art on earthquakes is that the source is random...the in some cases, the small earthquake will not stop for a while, and grows to be a big earthquake. In other cases (most cases) it stops. [/quote] Then how do we know "big ones" are going to hit certain areas based on data and how do we know the San Andreas fault is loaded with energy and going to pop soon - we can't predict the dates/times of earthquakes but scientists absolutely can take data and determine if a quake is going to hit within a good idea. Cmon. [/quote]
