Questions?

Q:I don't want to be showering and found naked. OMG I'm so scared. Guys, lets pray that if a earthquake were to occur, it'll be a mini one crossing my fingersssssssssss.
A:There will not be a warning. Seismologists are not capable of giving predictions of earthquakes with the resolution minutes (the amount of time it takes to shower). They give estimates of the probability of quakes for periods of time measured in years, decades, centuries or longer.
Q:just wondering, cus im kinda scared of earthquakes.... pls answer seriously.
A:No body can predict.But watch for the fallowing situations. One day or other day it will help you. Methods for prediction of earthquakes & Tsunami Even though it is difficult to predict, the following methods may help. . 1. Seismic gape: - The earthquake at a particular place may occur for every fixed gape of time. By knowing the past records of the quakes affected at that place may help to decide when the earthquake is next due. 2. Planet position.: - When the stress is accumulated at the tectonic plate boundary and the same time if the position of more than 2 planets comes in a straight line this may help to accelerate the earthquakes. There fore the full moon days and new moon days are more vulnerable days for earthquakes. Some time this method fails why? Think of a sick patient. New moon and full moon days are dangerous for only sick patents. These days will not affect the healthy people. The same way if there is no accumulated stress at the tectonic plate boundaries no need to worry about the planet positions. 3. Sun rays falling method: - If you observe the position of the sun rays falling on our wall at a particular time on all days it should form an angular infinity symbol. If there is any deviation in its path it means that there is some difference in height of the earth. That means some strain noticed at that place. Somebody claims that they can predict the place of epicenter by observing this. The laser beam measuring method of earth height from satellite also will help. 4. MDCB:- Chinese scientist claims that they can predict up to 60 % accuracy by sensing electro magnetic rays. 5. Cloud forming: - Few hours to a few days before the occurrence of earthquakes a cloud reader claims that he has noticed a peculiar mosaic type of formation .We may also notice some lightening in the sky. 6. By sound :- A professor from Ajmeer University claims that he was able to hear a low frequency noise under 125 meter depth in a bore well. The same thing was reported by one Mr. Nair that he heard some roaring noise under the earth one week before the occurrence of earthquake in Gujarat. 7. By frequency of waves :- Mr Richter Allen of Berkley University claims that he can decide the magnitude of earthquake just 4 seconds after observing the frequency of the primary wave. Present method needs the full seismographic picture to find the real magnitude that too from as many places as possible to have fairly accurate results. His claim has got some truth because when there is a slip of bigger tectonic plate the frequency of quake will be less. If a small tectonic plate slips the frequency of the waves will be more. 8. There are several changes in nature and in the behaviors of animals and birds can be observed before an earthquake and Tsunami. The water level in well may change. Stay away from beaches if you sense earthquake waves. The Tsunami may attack long after the shaking is stopped. I wrote several articles on these subjects. Have one simple earthquake alarm installed in your house. .
Q:I'm thinking of moving my family to either Campbell River or Nanaimo, BC but I heard that there's earthquakes there. Is it serious? should I be worried about it? If you have been in an earthquake on the island, please share your experience. Thank you.
A:
Q:If it is when? And please give links to a website that alerts you when a Earthquake might come.
A:Nobody can predict earthquakes accurately and in advance. You are lucky if you can get 10 minutes advanced warning. There is nothing to worry about. You did not have an earthquake for a long time. There is nothing in the horizon. As soon as the geological survey of BC come to know about it they will announce it on the radio and TV
Q:I live in BC and I am very scared of this predicted 'big one' that is supposed to happen in April 2008. I have family in Vancouver and they live in a large high-story building that is 20 or so years old. I am scared for them, what if it collapses? Will there ever be evacuation for the people in Vancouver/Victoria? What is this earthquake predicted to be on the Richter scale? I heard 9.something, which = everyone dying, right? Is there any way to help myself and my family prepare? I am horribly scared/stressed about this! Any help would be appreciated.
A:The science of earthquake prediction is pretty inexact...No one could predict a month and day right now. Vancouver/Victoria ARE in the Cascadia subduction zone, however and are in a seismically active area. You can help by becoming more education on the geologic processes/hazards in your area, putting some safety precautions in your home, and learn more about emergency preparedness. The link below has mainly to do with earthquake preparedness in the San Francisco area...but most of the info still applies because of both your area and SF being seismically active. I've also provided some links on the Cascadia Subduction zone and a link to the Cascadia Region Earthquake Workgroup (CREW). They have a nice report on a magnitude 9 earthquake scenario (but no predictions).
