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
