Earthquake prediction refers to the scientific efforts to forecast when and where an earthquake might occur. Researchers study patterns in seismic activity, geological features, and historical data to identify potential risks. However, accurately predicting the exact time and magnitude of an earthquake remains a significant challenge. Currently, there are no reliable methods for precise earthquake prediction. Instead, scientists focus on earthquake preparedness and early warning systems that can provide alerts seconds before shaking begins. These systems help communities respond quickly, potentially saving lives and reducing damage during an earthquake event.
