newmember Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I want to undestand why earthquake can't be predicted even very short time before it happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Because we can't measure the forces involved on the crust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmember Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 would you please explain a little further? Why these forces can be measured? What are the parameters that can be measured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKiri Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 The main problem is that we know of nothing that happens before an earthquake that only happens before an earthquake, and always happens before an earthquake. We also can't predict the movement of the earth's crust exactly (it's a. much too complicated, and b. chaotic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmember Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 we know of nothing that happens before an earthquake that only happens before an earthquake, and always happens before an earthquake but there is so much data collected before earthquake happen .... so if calculations or simulations are too complex and chaotic to be done why then stastical methods don't work? at least it could give us some time range...
