How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but happen in certain areas They happen in places where pieces of the earth’s surface meet This pattern causes them to shake the same places many times Foe example, earthquakes often occur on the west-coast of North and South America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia

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 been chickens sitting in the trees, fish jumping out of the water, snakes leaving their holes and other animals acting strangely

After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food , water, and medical supplies The amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where it happens, what time it happens, and how strong it is It also depends on types of building, soil conditions and population Of the 6000 earthquakes in the earth each year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths
