Methods for prediction of earthquakes & Tsunami
.
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. MCDB:- 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. I wrote several articles on these subjects. In my future letters I will explain what all those changes are. Also I will write what we should do and what we should not do before, at that time and after the earthquakes. This will be more helpful to save the people at least in future. Please visit my slide show at

I just gave this answer to another questioner:
The western coast of North America is an active plate boundary. Written and instrumental records from the past 200 years show that there have been many moderate to large (Richter magnitude 6 to 7) earthquakes in southwestern British Columbia and in adjacent Washington state. There is now strong evidence that much larger (magnitude 8 to 9) earthquakes have occurred beneath the continental slope and shelf off the west coast in the more distant past. These “great” quakes originate on the 1000 km long thrust fault that separates the Juan de Fuca and North America plates, in what is known as the Cascadia subduction zone.
Go here for background information on earthquakes in Canada: http://earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/zones/index_e.php
According to recent news accounts, scientists at the Pacific Geoscience Centre have observed that small tremors are occurring about every 14 months at the offshore plate boundary, adding stress to the locked part of the plate boundary and bringing it closer to triggering a major earthquake.
The most recent cluster of tremors started up on Jan 26, causing this news article on Sat. feb 3: Seismologists warned that a "catastrophic" earthquake could strike the southwestern coast of British Columbia soon, Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper reported. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070203/sc_afp/canadaquake_070203205115
But, by sunday feb 4-Seismologists at the Pacific Geoscience Centre in Sidney, B.C. said the latest episode of subterranean tremors on Vancouver Island than began Jan. 26 has ended about a week earlier than usual. ...heightened risk...weakened.http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070204/quake_risk_070204/20070204
Another round of tremors may start up around April 2008 if the pattern holds true.

Earthquakes really aren't very predictable. Scientist can fairly well say that one will occur based on seismic activity but they can't give specific dates or magnitudes...just guesses. So many things come into play (for example, small releases/quakes or shifting in other areas that relieve the pressure of the predicted area).
Here are some websites on Canadian earthquakes that might be of help:

Nobody could predict an earthquake. It's not like the weather, you know... No human tehcnology yet could predict an earthquake... So what you heard is complitely a rubbish...

i think of it extremely is the frequency with which they are happening, alongside with the dying-toll, it particularly is nerve-racking. Haiti on January 14 (scale - 7); Chile on 27 February (scale - 6.2); Turkey on 8 March (scale 6.2) and Sumatra on 6 April (scale 7.8). in spite of whether it is perceived as not something mind-blowing, the effect on human lives has been devastating. it extremely is going to basically take an earthquake in a densely populated section such using fact the united statesA. for some human beings to awaken. between the numerous signs and warning signs of the top of the age is "great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in numerous places, and apprehensive events and great signs and warning signs from heaven" (Luke 21:11). of path, there have been great earthquakes, famines and pestilences for the final 2,000 years. What demands our interest, from God's attitude, is that regardless of all of the pains and tribulations which will culminate in the top of the age, people who've placed their faith in Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour, and who stand company, choose not concern. "there will be signs and warning signs in the solar, moon and stars. on the earth, countries would be in discomfort and perplexity on the roaring and tossing of the sea. adult adult males will faint from terror, frightened of what's drawing near the international, for the heavenly bodies would be shaken. at that factor they are going to see the Son of guy (Jesus Christ) coming in a cloud with ability and great glory. whilst those issues start to happen, get up and elevate up your heads, using fact your redemption is drawing close to" (Luke 21:25-28). i think issues are going to get an undesirable lot worse earlier they start to get greater powerful.

Mr. Ganapathy has given you an excellent answer and it should be really given 20 points.
My heartly congrats to this researcher......
