When is the next earthquake in Istanbul predicted?
well, it is expected to be in the next 20 years... it is a known fact by all the world
What two factors do geologists consider when determining earthquake risk for a region?
By locating where faults are active and where past earthquake have occurred.
Can scientist predict earthquakes?
Earthquake prediction is currently not possible, as such, seismologists will attempt to quantify the risk posed by a particular fault zone rather than state exactly when an earthquake will occur. For more information, please see the related question.
How do you predict an earthquake's location?
An oral or written account of previous earthquake activity and location in, near or on the meeting of tectonic or lithospheric plates may serve to predict the location of a future earthquake.
What can you do in the future to be more prepared if there is going to have another earthquake in janpan?
yes, if we have the supplies
What major city is at risk because of the earthquake history of the Anatolian fault?
the Anatolian fault spans the northern boarder of Turkey. But Istanbul is the largest city to possibly be affected.
Name three cities that have a moderate risk of earthquake damage?
Three cities that have a moderate risk of earthquake damage are Los Angeles in the United States, Tokyo in Japan, and Istanbul in Turkey. These cities are located in seismically active regions and have experienced significant earthquakes in the past.
What is the future tense of risk?
The future tense of risk is will risk.
If an area has not had an earthquake in over a hundred years there probably will not be another one true or false?
False. The past occurrence of earthquakes does not guarantee that another earthquake won't happen in the future. Just because an area has not had an earthquake in over a hundred years does not mean that the risk of an earthquake occurring in the future is eliminated. Earthquakes can occur at any time and in any location where geological conditions are conducive to seismic activity.
What is the area along a fault where there has not been any earthquake activity in a long period of time?
The area along a fault where there has not been any earthquake activity in a long period of time is referred to as a seismic gap. Seismic gaps are areas of high earthquake risk as accumulated strain is released through a potential future earthquake. Monitoring seismic gaps is important for earthquake hazard assessment and preparedness.
Is there any news about tsunami in the future?
Only that it is inevitable that there will be tsunamis in the future. One risk area is the Cascadia subduction zone of the northern Pacific coast of the U.S., which has a strong chanced of producing a major earthquake and tsunami.
What two factors help geologists determine earthquake risk?
Two factors that help geologists determine earthquake risk are the history of seismic activity in the region and the presence of active fault lines. By studying past earthquakes and fault lines, geologists can assess the likelihood and potential impact of future earthquakes in a specific area.
If the region in which you live has not experienced an earthquake in 200 years your earthquake hazard is low?
Not necessarily. Just because an earthquake has not occurred in a region for a long time does not guarantee that one will not happen in the future. It is still important to be prepared for earthquakes regardless of how long it has been since the last one.

What two factors do geologists consider when determining earthquake risk for a region?
By locating where faults are active and where past earthquake have occurred.
Where are the areas that are at greatest risk from earthquake?
Where plates meet
Would California and Nevada or Maine be more likely to have a risk of an earthquake?
yes because there in earthquake perimeter
