Chapter 1Introduction • Earthquake (EQ) prediction has 6 (5) independent parameters: • Time of the mainshock • The length of time window • Centerof the focal area • Radius of the focal area • Minimum of magnitude • Magnitude range (not necessary if 10)
Chapter 2Prediction of time - asperity model a – proportional limit b – upper yield limit c – lower yield limit d – failure limit (σy, εy) – deformation on the proportional limit σd – tensile strength εd - tensibility

Conclusion • The correct and full prediction of EQs (area, time window and magnitude) is not an easy task. For this prediction as many different methods covered the whole Earthas possible must be used . • None of these method should be used alone. • The prediction of the strongest EQs is a global task. The precursors could be observed everywhere and many days (M7) or even months (M9) before the mainshock. • The EQ prediction is POSSIBLE. It is a real scientific task.
