Seismology • Seismologists use seismographs to detect earthquakes that happen all over the world. Also, NASA is starting to develop satellite technology to find earthquakes.
The Next Earthquake • Here is where we think the next earthquake will occur: • Tokyo, Japan • Why: Because there has been many Earthquakes near here over the years. This area is also being carefully watched by seismologists.
What we learned • We learned that earthquakes happen all around the world. • Very often, earthquakes happen close to one another. • All earthquake data can help us determine future earthquakes. • Where to watch for earthquakes in the future.
Factors that influence prediction • Data from previous earthquakes • Plate Boundaries • Fault lines
Where do most earthquakes strike • Japan • South America • Eurasia • Africa
