Which method is not used to predict earthquakes?
GeologyWhat methods are used to predict earthquakes? Several methods have been tested in the effort to learn how to predict earthquakes. Among the more serious methods which have been examined are seismicity changes, changes in seismic wave speed, electrical changes, and groundwater changes. “Seismicity changes” is really a fancy way of saying “foreshocks”.
